Creative's Budget MP3 Range

Creative is tackling the budget end of the MP3 player market with the new, colourful Zen Stone range of 1GB players which will barely tickle your wallet at £28.

Available in six colours - black, white, red, blue, pink and green –the player weighs in at 18.3g and measures 53.7x35.3x12.8mm. The 1GB capacity will take 500 songs, assuming a 4-minute track length, so Pink Floyd fans might want to do some math first.

It has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery which Creative claims is good for 10 hours and it supports MP3, WMA and WMA with DRM 9 files. You can even opt for some Zen Stone accessories, like the matching silicon skins, the sporty armband+skin combo and a “fashionable keychain” with a tiny case for putting the player in.
