Plug-and-Play Creative Zen Xtra?

Tbreak.com has a new review of the Creative Zen Xtra MP3 player. The review is fairly brief, but it does have a lot of photos and one very interesting side note:

Unlike Creative’s MuVo2 that we reviewed a few weeks back, the Zen Xtra isn’t truly plug’n’play as you need to install drivers to access the device. We spoke to Creative about this and were informed that the unit is capable of a driverless operation and there might be a firmware version coming up soon that’ll let you access the device without installing any drivers.

This is big news in our book. Software-less functionality is a greatly underappreciated feature and we are happy to hear that Creative can/will make this happen. When/if this comes to pass, we think that Creative's lineup will be the clear choices for budget-conscious buyers.
