Creative Challenges iPod Shuffle

by Tim Stevens on May 4, 2007 at 01:01 PM

Creative Labs is encouraging you to "rock in color" with its latest digital music player, the ZEN Stone. Screen-impaired like the iPod Shuffle, the incredibly petite Stone measures a minute 53.67 x 35.34 x 12.82 millimeters and weighs a mere 18.5 grams, making it only slightly larger and heavier than the Shuffle. The Stone rocks the same one-gigabyte of storage space as the Shuffle, but at half the price: $39.99, compared to the $79.99 Shuffle. It's available in yellow, white, red, blue, black and pink.

The Stone also boasts some nice features over the Shuffle that make it a bit more useful, including easily replaceable AAA batteries that are good for ten hours of playback, as well as support for WMA , Audible files, and MP3 files. In addition, Creative plans to release a series of skins that will let you wear your Stone as an armband, thread it onto your key-chain, or just clip it on your belt, IT-guy-style
