Creative Zen price cut continues (because of the Zen Share?)


Earlier this month, Creative Zen reduced the price of the 32GB Zen to $299. The 4GB Zen goes for only $99 and now you can get the 8GB Zen for just $149 - same price as the 4GB iPod Nano for twice the memory. This is definitely becoming one of those deals that are difficult to resist. You know you don't really need another MP3 player, but how can anyone turn down a really cheap offer for such a solid MP3 player?
I'd wait a couple of weeks before buying any Zens though. Rumor has it that Creative's coming up with a WiFi device called the Zen Share, which will allow users to do peer-to-peer sharing over a wireless network. No news on pricing yet, but a sneak peak of this gadget will be shown at the CeBit in Germany and it will be released to the market sometime May or June. It's a little too late for Creative to be cashing in on the wireless sharing market, but we'll see how well the Zen Share does.

Epson's pricey photo viewers present prettier pictures?




To accommodate all those high-resolution photos you've shot with your new (or old) dSLR, Epson has doubled the hard disk size of its Multimedia Photo Viewers. This year's models, the P-6000 and P-7000, offer 80GB and 160GB, respectively over the P-3000 and P-5000's 40GB and 80GB.
Though screen size and resolution hasn't changed from the previous models--4 inches at 640x480--they incorporate Epson's latest display technology, dubbed Photo Fine Premia. Though the technology remains basically the same--it combines red, blue and two green filters in a single pixel rather than spreading them across pixels--the company claims the new gamut covers 94 percent of the Adobe RGB color space compared to 88 percent for its Photo Fine Ultra predecessors. That would certainly make it attractive for dSLR shooters. (Like some other photo viewers, these support raw files in addition to JPEG, but not all raw formats. You should always double-check on support before buying.) The new display also offers a wider viewing angle.
In addition, Epson has addressed some performance issues, and says that these models are up to 35 percent faster at downloading than before and supports USB 2.0 and UDMA CF cards. Battery life hasn't increased, though; the internal rechargeable is still rated to last about 3 hours. The company has also updated the design with a new jog dial for navigation instead of the four-way switch that's so last century. As with the previous models, these support video and audio as well.
When it ships in September, expect to pay a premium for that slightly larger but higher-tech display: the 80GB P-6000 lists at $599.99 and the 160GB P-7000 for $799.99 compared to, say,
Digital Foci's 160GB, $499 3.6-inch Picture Porter Elite. The 160GB model does come with a Travel Pack, which includes a dual battery charger, car adapter, viewing stand, carrying case and some other stuff. We're expecting a unit in soon; we'll tell you if it's worth the dough.

The Aperion Intimus 4T tower speakers feature dual 4″ woven fiberglass composite mid-woofers and a reportedly audiophile grade 1″ silk dome tweeter. A pair of these speakers is designed to be used as either the main speakers in small to medium sized rooms, or they can be used as surrounds as part of a larger system. Body colors to choose from include gloss black or real cherry.
Features of the 4T speakers include an anti-resonant cabinet, magnetic shielding on the speakers, five-way gold-plated binding posts and floor spikes and footers. They are available now.
