Primary article: Creative ZEN



Main article: Creative MuVo



The Creative ZEN was released in 2007.



The Creative ZEN name is used in a range of handheld media devices by the organization. They are the successor to the NOMAD line of players. The line has won numerous awards, such as three CES Greatest of Show awards, in 2004 with the Creative ZEN Portable Media Center, 2005 with the ZEN MicroPhoto, and 2006 with the ZEN Vision:M. The company uses MuVo branding for its smaller, flash-based devices.



Vado Video Cameras



Although currently a vendor of webcams for PCs and laptops, in Might 2008, Creative announced the unveiling of its Vado video camera. The Vado video camera is a handheld device developed with portability in mind. Its direct competitor is the Flip Mini. In December 2008, Creative announced a HD version of the Vado, the Vado HD. This camera was among the initial portable high-definition cameras. The Vado HD received an 89 rating from PCWorld, 4/five stars and an Editors Choice award from Computer Magazine, and generally favorable critiques from users on Amazon.



MediaSource



Creative MediaSource comes included with certain Creative products, such as Sound Blaster, MuVo, and Creative Zen. The computer software is mainly utilised as a technique to sync and transfer digital media. The newest version is constantly readily available as a totally free download from the official web site, but installation requires a Creative item (such as a Sound Blaster or Creative Zen) to be connected. The computer software is normally bundled with audio and video converters, as well as ZENcast, a podcast organizer. Functions from prior version are occasionally removed by upgrades, such as the recent removal of the mp3 codec.
