New tiny Creative Zen at just S$69?

Edvarcl Heng | May 03, 2007

The latest thing to pop out of Creative's woodwork literally, the tiny Zen Stone is seriously the most Zen-like in the Singapore firm's stable, more so than even the Creative Zen V since it doesn't even come with a screen. While it clearly is Creative's response to the equally spartan Apple iPod shuffle, the Stone trumps the shuffle with a price tag of S$69 which puts it in the league of bargain basement MP3 players.

Editors' note:

According to Creative Singapore, only the black version will be available now. For the rest of the colors as well as the accessories, they will be available in the stores by end-May.

Despite its name, the Stone weighs just 19g and will be available in six colors: Black, green, blue, white, pink and red. In a rare turn of events, the Stone forgoes the myriad of features typical of Creative players for a basic player that goes low on price and size. According to Creative, there will be three accessories for the Zen Stone: The Zen Stone silicon skin (S$15), the armband (S$29) and the keychain case (S$25). Compare Stone and Shuffle here
