There is some good news and some bad news. Creative Zen V Plus will be available in a bigger 16 GB version. The bad news is that the company hasn’t confirmed it yet and for all we know, the pictures might have been fabricated by a prankster with his Photoshop. Whatever is the scenario, all we can do is just wait and watch if the rumor has any truth to it.

Apparently, the new version would have no additional features except the extended capacity. However, it would replace the blue accent in the original to include white lines to complement the stylish black finish. If these reports are true, this gadget would hit the stands at a price of $263.29. Well, only if we had some way to find out!!!
