Creative adds bold Zen Mozaic to its lineup

Ready to try a different music player? Creative has added yet another flash-based media player to its Zen lineup called Creative Zen Mozaic, an appropriate name considering its checkered design on the front. Comparable to a 2nd gen iPod nano in size, the Zen Mosaic features a built-in speaker, an 1.8-inch color LCD screen, voice recorder, FM radio, and best of all, it supports most audio formats.

The player includes a media management application that organizes and intelligently tags all media (photos, video, music), creates playlists for your convenience, and transcodes video to the proprietary video format so you don't have to. It will debut next month in Singapore in vivid pink, chic black and cool silver at reasonable prices that include a 2GB ($99) and a 4GB ($129) model, with an 8GB and 16GB model following shortly thereafter.

A few Zen Mozaic accessories will also be available at launch including a speaker system dock, a carabiner case, silicone skins, and a sporty armband for a hands-free workout. Apparently, the battery runs for at least 32 hours on a single charge, which makes it a great companion for just about anyone.
