|  Creative announced its expected 8GB bump to the Zen V Plus. It will be black with blue accents, like the 4GB model.
The company is undecided on whether the 8-gig will come to the States, but considering the demand for higher-capacity flash players (especially with the disappearing microdrive market). It's sure to go head-to-head with the slick 8GB iPod Nano and that sassy SanDisk Sansa e280 in an upcoming prizefight. The Creative ZEN V Plus 8GB will be available in retail stores in Singapore in October 2006 at a suggested retail price of S$429.00. The Creative ZEN V Plus includes all of the following features: - The smooth contours and tiny size of the Creative ZEN V Plus enable it to fit naturally in your fingertips or to tuck away easily in a small pocket or purse and it looks as great as it feels.
- Special coating on the entire player to help prevent scratching.
- Vibrant 1.5-inch OLED screen for stunning video, photos and album art.
- Music Subscription Support - from major services such as Yahoo! Music Unlimited, Urge, Napster To Go and Rhapsody To Go, support for Audible audio books and payper-download services including Soundbuzz.
- Built-in FM radio with 32 station presets.
- A voice recorder for capturing notes or lectures.
- Syncs with Microsoft Outlook - includes a built-in organizer with Calendar, Contacts and Tasks.
- Direct CD Recording - with line-in connection and a Sync Track button to separate different songs recorded from an entire CD.
- Incorporates the most popular “ZEN Patent” user interface - for intuitively accessing
music, photos, video and colour menus and displaying album art.
