After some deliberation and looking into a few options I went with the Creative Zen and picked it up from Virgin in Mall of the Emirates. It had all the features I was looking for all in a small package, and it was readily available in every electronic store in the Mall of the Emirates.

There were two versions but I went with the 8 GB version, but there was also a 16 GB and 32 GB version which were only available online. It fit perfectly in mind hand and it is very thin, so I was very happy with the purchase.

Price: 899 AED (67 KD)
