Creative outs Android Zen Touch 2 MP3 player
Headphones and speakers also announced
Creative has announced the arrival of its latest MP3 player – the Android-toting Creative Zen Touch 2.
The Zen Touch 2 was announced alongside the company's ZiiO Android tablets and uses Android 2.1 to power the OS.
Now, we know what you are thinking – one look at a picture of the Zen Touch 2 and it looks remarkably like a phone.
It even has GPS, Bluetooth, an accelerometer, FM radio, and a microSD card slot but it hasn't got 3G connectivity or any other phone gubbins so you would look like a plank if you tried to make a call on it.
It is a pretty useful PMP, though, which has been coupled with a web browser and a 2MP camera.
The Creative Zen Touch 2 has a UK release date of December with pricing as follows: £149.99 (8GB with GPS), £159.99 (8GB with GPS or 16GB without GPS).
Creative has also announced it is bringing a new pair of Bluetooth headphones to market.
