I'm checking out the new Creative Zen Portable Media Center, something a new
item you may have read about recently... This portable player handles music,
pictures..... and video (such as saved movies from Movie Maker).

I tried a number of different ways to photograph it, to get pictures for my
newsletter and posts. The brightness of the screen and the sleek black
finish of the case make it difficult to get good still pictures with
something playing..... so I'll use the still pix in writings, and post
samples of videos playing in it online.

The first thing I did was copy a number of my Movie Maker productions to it
and check the playback. Great!!!! so easy to copy from my laptop and a
really great playback. Here's a sample so you can see for yourself:.

I used my digital camcorder to shoot the footage of the Creative Zen playing
a short video.... no retouching done after capture.

I'll be providing some more info about it in my newsletter this week.
