Begin Testing Creative Zen Vision:M
Today I start testing the Creative Zen Vision:M. The package came by courier and I was very excited to see the product. I have been using Apple ipods for the last year but Apple ipod does not cater to older buyers nor does it have the TV plugin or recorder so I wanted to see if the Creative product would be a good alternative for the Apple ipod video/audio player.
Before you can use the product, you need to install the software and then attach the player to your computer for a six hour charge. Knowing that I have to let it basically sit all night, I wanted to charge it up this evening so that I could start using it tomorrow.
I love technology but it never seems to be easy .. ever.. Sticking the disk into my Apple computer, I get a nice little CD symbol and not the Icon I am hoping for.... nooooooooooooo, this is not what I wanted this evening... I wanted something easy, something I don't have to think about. Looking at the box, I notice that the box says that the recommended system is Windows XP and I am currently using an Apple MacBook Pro.
Now I have to dig out my old Sony so that I can install the software and charge up the player. Hopefully tomorrow the PR firm in charge of sending me the player or Creative customer service will send me the appropriate software..... I hate going back to the sony, it is an old computer and much slower than my apple... although I must say that I thought it was pretty cool that the new Sony laptop is in Green or PINK!!! Check it out.. if I had known, I would have just bought another Sony just to have a pink computer and then I would not have this problem with the ZEN....
I love my Apple MacBook Pro... but I also really liked my Sony..... If you are not willing to switch over to Apple, try the Sony in Pink... you can get a matching Zen.. HA... I would rather have a player that looks like wood or marble.. but pink is a start...
