For those looking for an MP3 player with a design as loud as the music its pumping out, Creative on Thursday launched the Zen Mozaic, a decidedly out-there PMP. True to its name, the Mozaic features a grid-like pattern of colored squares beneath its screen that serve as its controls.
Aside from this colorful bit of pixilation built into its face, the Mozaic’s specs are more or less ordinary. It gets a 1.8-inch full-color screen, an FM radio with 32 presets, voice recorder, and support for all the standard audio formats, including MP3, WMA, WMA-DRM 10, and JPEG for photos. One slightly rarer addition: a built-in speaker for sharing music without headphones.
A 2GB model and 4GB model are currently available priced at $99 and $129, respectively. They come in silver, black, or pink. Creative plans to release an 8GB model for $169 and 16GB model for $249 in August.
