Creative’s latest line of gadgets is certainly living up to its name. The company often gets lost in the shuffle of other big gadget and electronic companies. They don’t have the name recognition of Palm or RIM’s Blackberry, and they don’t have the sheer size of companies like Samsung or Sony. Nonetheless, in an announcement earlier this week, Creative rolled out a series of tablet-style devices that run using the Android 2.1 operating system.

While several of the devices are exciting, latest entry in their ZEN MP3 player lineup looks to be particularly worth getting excited over. Creative’s ZEN players have been strongly reviewed over the past generations, and customers have gradually begun to take note. The latest ZEN player is a direct response to the iPod Touch, something that the market certainly needed. The iPod Touch stands as the most popular MP3 player on the market right now. With its host of non-music features, it has been the go-to option for gadget aficionados.

The Creative ZEN Touch 2 stands as a pretty clear reaction to the success of Apple’s MP3 player. First and foremost, it comes with a full features set that is second to none. The Touch 2 is Bluetooth-enabled, has the potential for GPS navigation and has a Micro SIM card slot. Some of these features aren’t necessarily standard on MP3 players, but Creative’s dedication to giving a full-featured gadget really shines through here.
