Tom’s Hardware reviewed the new Creative Zen Vision PMP device last week over here. As with many reviews already out on the net for the Zen Vision, the verdict is mixed. Although the Vision is clearly better than the original PMC launched by Creative last year, the second iteration of a media device still isn’t a home run. Here’s the final verdict:

The Zen Vision left us with mixed impressions. It’s undeniably the most sleekly-designed and lightest portable AV player we’ve seen. Its high-resolution display is particularly effective for displaying photos. Its 30 GB of storage space is amply sufficient, and its TV output is exceptional. On the other hand, the Zen Vision doesn’t record and its display, along with narrow viewing angles, has a color temperature that is a little cold. The price, $400 puts it at the same level as the Archos AV400. It’s up to you to decide what your priorities are.
