Zen Sleek Photo...

[comfortablyNUMB]

I just saw this article on DAPreview...they found a random webshop in Singapore talking about it. This is what they had to say:

Turns out Creative isn't too stupid to figure out that a color screen-version of the Zen Sleek might prove interesting. This edition will come with an OLED-type LCD, like the one found on the upcoming Micro Photo... only a bit bigger in terms of proportions (well, duh... the article mentions "1.7-inch" but that seems a bit small).

Seen here and there in some Portugese (?) webshops, at around 320-329 Euro a piece (20GB). Latter shop also shows a basic retail price of some 290 Euro for the 8GB Micro Photo.

^Yeah i know that's just a photoshopped pic, but it's still cool.


If this is real, and if it ever shows up in the US, well that would be cool.

That actually looks really nice. If my pocket dj ever died on me and I was out of warrenty...I would definately consider that.

But yeah, they just released this thing, what, two months ago? And it's already getting upgraded.

yea it is very nice. i played around with it at bestbuy last saturday. the touch pad was kinda ehhh for me... but i still like it as well

I thought the touchpad was better than the one on the touch and the one on the micro...and i liked the regular buttons that was much easier than the touch buttons on the micro. IMO there shouldn't have been a Sleek without a color screen originally, it just would've been nice if this is what they originally came out with. Jeez so many players...

[skauff83]

I laugh at all the people who bought the first gens, and then also got the worms too, and now get no color screen.

Poor unfortunate souls :(.

Yea looks good. I first read this on Engadget as a small passage.

But still looks good tho :approve:

Yeah that's why I posted it. The combo of the Sleek (if you already like the design) and a color screen equals a good looking DAP in my eyes at least.

I wonder if their well by a Dell DJ version of it

Stores sell Creative players, but not Dell players.

I was just thinking...maybe the gen 3 Dj's will be modelled after this color Sleek and/or the micro photo?
