Product Description
ZVUE 260 Personal Media Player
Amazon.com Product Description
The ZVUE 260 is a sleek, thin, full-featured personal media player (PMP) featuring a built-in speaker and bright 2.5-inch screen. The device uses SD memory cards, and it ships with a "starter" 1 GB SD card with sufficient memory for up to six hours of video playback or approximately 500 MP3s.  Enjoy your music, videos, and photos on the go. View demo. |
Enjoy Your Media Anywhere
The ZVUE 260 will handle most of your media library. It shows video (AVI, ASF, Xvid, MPEG4 and WMV), plays audio (MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, MP2), and displays photos (JPG, BMP). The device displays the ID3 tag information of your audio files. Enjoy it all on 2.5-inch LCD, and get four to six hours of battery life from the Lithium-Ion battery. The ZVUE 260 is back by a limited 90-day manufacturer's warranty.
ZAPP Media Manager

ZAPP automatically detects media files on a computer, so you can easily select, organize, and transfer videos, music, and photos to your player. The ZAPP program also makes it easy to download and transfer content from HandHeld Entertainment's premium and user-generated content Web properties, for easy access to thousands of free movies, cartoons, videos, and music. It also supports subscription and pay-per-song music services.

 you get just what you pay for December 20, 2008

As they say, you really get what you pay for. There are some defects with the player and/or software. It has a problem connecting to the pc as a portable media but finally connects as removable storage. Video clips are cut verrry short, most pictures are distorted. There are errors with some of the music files.What is great is the built in speaker and large viewable image area. But found you can get a better player for this price if you look- more features-radio, recorder and in working condition. I think I won't return due to the $8 shipping cost so may just keep it for occassion music listening.

ZVUE 260 Personal Media Player
The Zvue 260 MP4 player overall is a pretty good deal for the money. I got mine for $37 brand new.
The internal speaker sounds way better than I thought it would. It goes loud enough to hear it throughout my room.
Picture viewing is pretty easy and clear images. Music quality is very good.
The software that came with the 260, I threw in the trash after I installed it. Way too much of a pain to use. If you have a Video converter then just format the Video to Zune(Yes Zune) WMA.
Video playing is not that good really. If you are going to watch the video from beginning to end you are good but if the is a lot of action on the screen the audio starts to cut out.
Battery life is pretty good and you can recharge at any computer with a USB port

i bought this item 2 mos. ago and i have not had 1 single problem with it except it has no equalizer to modify the sound to my liking but you can expand the memory to your preference by the sd card so far i has gone as far as 4gb to watch videos you has to change the format to mp4 by your computer the mp3 files plays fine

Poor, poor ZVUE.
What a wonderful product the ZVUE 260 is. Seriously.
I got this player for around $30 here on Amazon, and I must say, I am very, very happy with it.
I'm currently using an 8gb card in it, and it's working perfectly.
The only reason the sales of this player haven't taken off, in my opinion, is that the masses don't yet understand that those tiny cards they put inside their cameras can ALSO be used to play music off of.
As we all know, when it comes to format changes, the masses need coddling. Lots and lots of coddling.
Honestly...it's intellectual lag time.
I hope ZVUE can hold on as a company a little while longer, as the prices of the SDHC cards come down, and people suddenly realize they don't need to outgrow their players anymore... they can just buy new cards.
The only tip I have for anyone wanting to purchase this player is that you need to have the tags for your mp3's in perfect working order, or you will get an error and your songs won't play.
I would suggest buying and learning to use MediaMonkey.
Another, more inexpensive program that's free (I believe) that can be used is called Mp3Tag.
As far as I can tell, to work properly, only the barest of tags are needed. Artist, song, title, year, track, genre... and that's about it. Anymore info than that and you'll probably be getting errors.
If I had to make a suggestion for ZVUE, the only thing I might add is that they may want to throw in some EQ settings on the next model. Probably some SRS effects. It's not the end of the world if one doesn't have EQ, but hey, on some of that older rock and roll those SRS effects really bring it back to life... ya know?
(If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check the latest version of Windows Media Player, under 'Sound Enhancements'. Wide that stuff from the decades past to about 20, add the TRUBass to 20, and you'll become a believer, trust me.)
Good luck to you, ZVUE. May you stay in business long enough to hear the crowds screaming your name, and the analysts all loving you for being so very, very, very ahead of the curve.
Delisting? What delisting?

For the price and what it can do it's the best product on the market. It also comes with songs already downloaded. I bought 7 for my family memebers!
