I recently purchased a black Creative Zen Vision:M portable media player, in the hopes of preserving my sanity while on trans-Atlantic voyages to and from Baghdad, and keeping myself focused during my long and boring cardio workouts.

I previously owned a Creative Zen Micro, which I had a great experience with. However, I spent 20 hours en route home from Baghdad and found myself desperate for some video to pass the time; when I got home I discovered the Zen Vision:M was now widely available, and ordered one immediately.
