If news of the Creative X-Fi 2’s price slash was not exciting enough, we have just a bit more news to make the X-Fi 2 the must have player. “What’s all the noise about?”, I hear you ask.

Creative have released a much needed firmware update for the X-Fi 2 which gives the player several new features. Fitted with an accelerometer, the X-Fi 2 can switch from landscape to portrait views with the flick of a wrist.

Furthermore, the user-interface has been re-organized and optimized for performance. This not only means a clean, interactive, and intuitive UI, but it is now more responsive to the human touch.

It doesn’t end there, Creative have been kind enough to include the popular Sudoku game so be prepared to waste away hours of your free time.

As the first Creative player to boast a touchscreen, it still lacks some features found in other players.  For example, there is no sign of any wireless capabilities, Internet browsing, or an application store.
