Creative has added AAC support to its new range of Zen MP3 players, suggesting the company is positioning itself to go head-to-head with Apple's forthcoming third-generation Nano.

The new credit card-sized player is seen as Creative's first strike against the equally tiny Nano, though its boldness could be hampered by the Zen's inability to support DRM downloads from the iTunes store.

The player will be available in three flavours, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB, with an SD memory slot for those looking to upgrade. It will also feature a 2.5 inch screen supporting 16.7 million colours, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery capable of a claimed 25 hours of music playback or 5 hours of video.
