It ’s a newfangled modelling name , certain , and thedistinctive push button panelhas been booted in party favor of a touchscreen , but the most important part of the X - Fi update has nothing to do with ironware , and everything to do with dollars .

apart from the slightly large , ever - more - fingerable TFT silver screen , the X - Fi 2 supposedly adds improvements to vocalise quality , which are down to murky machinations inside Creative ’s X - Fi audio processing system , as well as TV - out , which is specially useful study the player ’s generous video codec financial backing . The rest period of the specs are more or less unchanged : There ’s an FM tuner , built - in mic , a microSD expansion slot , and syncable calendar , job listing , contacts and RSS reader apps . It really take care like the player has lost a feature since v1 too , since the anterior model ’s Wi - Fi access is nowhere to be found . Not that it ever did much , but still .
Anyway , price ! It ’s fairly low , considering what you get : It ’s 230 for the 32 GB model , $ 180 for the 16 GB and $ 130 for the 8 GB . The highest cost point seems like a shaft at the iPod Touch , and it could be a ingenious one : The two players extend altogether different things , and if you want to do more than play music and videos , the iPod is the vindicated alternative . On the other mitt , if that ’s all you want to do , a 32 GB touchscreen PMP makes a font , if not a particularly strong one . It ’s available for preorder now , and should send within a few weeks .
