Raising the bar on its competition, the very affordable Creative Labs 8GB ZEN X-Fi3 Player with 2" Touch Screen combines a user-friendly TFT LCD touch panel interface with the convenience of Bluetooth 2.1 wireless connectivity. It also features FM radio and X-Fi audio restoration technology, which restores lost details back to your digital music files. The FM radio has 32 station presets and there's even a video output for watching your video content on a large TV screen.
The X-Fi3 Player has an internal 8GB memory for storing several audio file formats, including the lossless music quality of FLAC files. The player can also store and play back many different video file formats, as well as JPEG photo files. If the 8GB storage capacity can't hold enough of your digital media library, you can use the integrated MicroSD/MicroSDHC memory card slot to expand the player's memory by adding up to a 32GB memory card. The X-Fi3 can function as an alarm clock and even features a built-in microphone for recording lectures, mental notes, meetings and interviews. You can store the recorded audio directly onto the 8GB internal flash memory and listen back whenever you need it or upload it onto your computer the next time you're syncing your device.
The vibrant and vivid 2" TFT LCD display has 262K colors and features capacitive touch screen capabilities. You can use it to scroll through songs, videos, albums and recorded voice notes. These touch buttons enable easy and quick navigation through the X-Fi3 Player menus and folders. Another convenient technology that's been integrated into the device's design is Bluetooth 2.1 with stereo A2DP and AVRCP support. The Bluetooth wireless connectivity is enhanced by the apt-X codec, which supports superior wireless Bluetooth transmission. With apt-X support, connection between your Bluetooth-enabled headphones or speaker system is so clear and crisp; it's as if you were actually utilizing a wired connection.
