We've been looking forward to getting the Zen Stone -- Creative's remarkably iPod Shuffle-like answer to the iPod Shuffle -- in our freshly washed, gadget-loving hands. And now we have. It really is as cute as a button. With pigtails. It's slightly larger than the Shuffle, but elegant with it. It feels like one of those lickably smooth pebbles you skim across the water in the Lake District.




Creative unveils the Creative ZEN Stone, a small lightweight MP3 player. The ultra-compact MP3 player will fit into almost any pocket and is extremely simple and easy to use. Since it is so easy to use there is no need for a display screen, just set the player on Play or Random and scan through the tracks. With a 1GB capacity, you can transfer roughly 250 songs or up to 10 hours of music. The Zen Stone will be available from a selection of six colors including black, white, red, blue, pink, and green. At a extremely low price the Creative Zen Stone can be yours for only $39.99 on its release date of May 14th. Even it's TravelSound Zen Stone Dock is $39.99 also.
