In addition, the Auto Sync feature in Windows Media Player 10 provides seamless content synchronization with the PC. Digital photos can be played back in a slide show, complete with a soundtrack compiled from the music library.

Users can watch TV shows downloaded from any Microsoft XP-based PC with a TV tuner card, home movies transferred from the PC, or movies and other video content downloaded from the Internet.

To share music, movies or video with friends and family, the Zen Portable Media Center includes a built-in speaker and a TV-out jack with audio, in addition to a headphone jack for individual use. The Zen Portable Media Center also comes with a stylish protective case that doubles as an adjustable stand.

Simple, ergonomic front and top-mounted controls on the Zen Portable Media Center are configured like many popular handheld gaming devices, making it easy to find, enjoy and share pictures, music and video.

Four preset buttons located on top of the device, designed to operate like presets on a car stereo, can be programmed to jump directly to favorite movies, songs, playlists or pictures.

A conveniently located green front-mounted Windows Media Center button provides instant access to the ‘Start’ or ‘Now Playing’ screens for quickly finding, playing or returning to TV shows, pictures, music and videos. With support for both WMA and MP3 music, the Zen Portable Media Center offers broad compatibility with a wide range of popular music download services in Australia, including BigPond Music, NineMSN Music, Destra and MuleMusic online stores.

The new Zen Portable Media Center is available now (September, 2004) at AUD$999 inc GST, comes with a rechargeable, removable Li-Ion Polymer Battery, a stylish protective case that doubles as an adjustable stand, an AC adapter, USB 2.0 cable, high-quality earphones, and a TV-Out cable.

Optional accessories, including a docking station, spare battery, FM wired remote, and an IR remote, are available for purchase separately when they come available.
