Creative announced a new MP3-USB-Stick, the Nomad Muvo TX. It's the successor of the Nomad Muvo NX and has all its features plus an USB 2.0 interface. You can choose between a 128, a 256 and a 512MB version.

The Nomad Muvo TX can hold up to 16hrs of WMA music and 8hrs of MP3 music with up to 15hrs of MP3 continuous play on 1x AAA battery.

The 128MB version will cost 149 Euro and the 256MB 199 Euro. I couldn't find any price information about the 512MB version as of yet. The Nomad Muvo TX will be available in the end of March.

All flash-based MP3 players have become a bit academic in relation to the iPod mini. Let's say the 512Mb model costs € 250 (=£ 165). The mini, with 4Gb will cost £ 190 - 200 when it gets here in April. That's an extra 3.5Gb for £ 25-35.
No contest really.
Here, I\'ll shoot that argument down.
Creative has a Muvo2 that\'s 4GB, cost $ 199 (US). The added advantage is that the memory is a microdrive...meaning its a hard drive in the compactflash format, which can be removed from the player, and used in digital cameras or other devices supports compactflash. The memory along is worth the price of the player.
Lets see...after conversion, you\'ll be overpaying by £83 - £93. [edited by GezusK on 02.03.2004 09:14] [edited by GezusK on 02.03.2004 09:15]
Well I don`t really know about the MuVo TX, but I do have the Creative`s first version of the MuVo and those were NOT "High Quality Earphones". In fact they were so bad I had to buy some other headphones.
