After speculation, delays and a wait of 10 months, Creative has finally launched its Zen Micro Photo in the UK.

The new model is the same size and dimensions as the company's Creative Zen Micro MP3 player, but with the added bonus of a colour screen to display JPEG photos.

The new 1.5in screen is an organic LED (OLED) screen that's capable of displaying over 260,000 colours

The new player is capable of storing up to 4,000 songs on its 8Gb hard disk as well as featuring a built-in FM radio and a promise of 15 hours of playback.

Photographers will not however be able to transfer images direct from a camera and view them on the screen, it must be transfered via the PC.

The new player will cost £199.99.
