MILPITAS, Calif., April 2 /PRNewswire/ --

The NOMAD Jukebox C, boasting an impressive 6 GB of storage capacity, will

digital audio player, bundled with 32 MB of onboard memory and a Smart Media
memory expansion slot, will carry an EIP of US$129. Both digital audio
players are now available in the U.S.
To complement the NOMAD C-series, Creative also unveiled a wide range of
NOMAD accessories to enhance the audio experience for users. The NOMAD
Jukebox C accessory kit (EIP US$49.99) includes a Jukebox pouch, carrying
case, four AA NiMH rechargeable batteries, car-cassette adapter and stereo
backphones. The NOMAD II C-series accessory kit (EIP US$29.99) includes a

capabilities.

The NOMAD II C with 32 MB of onboard flash memory is designed for the
active consumer, containing features that emphasize quick setup and
versatility such as Universal Serial Bus (USB) support and a voice recorder.
The stylish-looking NOMAD II C also includes an icon-based backlit LCD with
scrolling text to view artist name and song title, and an open Smart Media
slot for memory expansion. With all of these features, the NOMAD II C is
small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and weighs a svelte 3 ounces. In
addition, the NOMAD II C allows consumers to download support for future codec
standards and digital rights management technology, enabling the NOMAD II C to
play digital music in secure formats.
