CREATIVE INTRODUCES A NEW SMALL & BEAUTIFUL WAY TO FIND YOUR ZEN - THE ZEN V PLUS

Tiny Player Lets You Have Your Music, Photos, Video and FM Radio at Your Fingertips

Creative (Nasdaq: CREAF) the worldwide leader in digital entertainment products, today introduces a new small & beautiful way to FIND YOUR ZEN - the ZEN V Plus MP3, photo and video player with built-in FM radio.

Amazingly small and lightweight, the ZEN V Plus is ergonomically designed to put music, pictures and video right at the user's fingertips. So compact it can even fit the coin pocket of a pair of jeans, the ZEN V Plus has such great curves and contours and is so lightweight that people will almost forget it's there - except for its phenomenal sound quality! Its beautiful 1.5-inch colour OLED screen displays stunning digital photos, video and colour menus.

“We designed the ZEN V Plus to provide an incredible user experience - it's a player that you don't want to put down once you hold it in your hand,” says Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative. “We developed the ZEN V Plus with a look and a user experience that create the true feeling of ZEN. Photos and videos and our patented ZEN user interface look so vivid on the stunning colour screen and the sound quality is awesome, it's surprising for such a tiny player.”

The ZEN V Plus supports music subscription services such as Napster To Go and Audible audio books. It also includes a line-in port for direct recording from a CD player or other audio device, and a voice recorder for capturing notes on the go.
