16GB Zen V Plus now in US
Unveiled just last week for the Singapore market, the 16GB version of the Zen V Plus is now being sold in the United States. The product is remarkable in that it has more memory than any similarly-priced flash player on the market, and in fact, it has twice as much storage as Apple's iPod nano. It also supports AVI video, in addition to MP3, WAV, WMA and Audible audio formats. The American Plus is being sold for $250; like the Singapore version, only a black-and-white color scheme is available.

quite remarkable
Yes, it’s quite remarkable that they can fit twice as much flash ram into a device that takes 2x the space of iPod Nano. The measurements actually tell you that the bloated Zen is actually 67% of the physical size of the iPod 30GB by volume, so the Zen is probably full of low density flash memory that nobody else wants.
