nice features and size, I wounder how much biger it is than the new ipod shuffle.. to bad shuffle has no radio IT SHOULD.

Shuffle does not have radio but it also lacks EQ. That's a bummer.
This zen seems quite small on the demo:

Nice one and a definite advantage over both zen stone "minus" and shuffe for sure.

Creative has gotten into the habit of putting out some quality players in recent years. I remember their first player was great, but still lacked "features" that the Ipod did. Seems they have been on an increase in features lately. Nice price and Id actually purchase one of them blue ones.

Better you than me! You'd have to kill me first to get one of these ugly little things in my hands! And no, I have no love for iPod's either.

I'm guessing that having the words quality and Creative in the same sentence would be an oxymoron...

That reminds me! I'm still using an MSI MegaStick 256MB USB MP3 player I bought new a few years ago! I once dropped it into the shallow end of our backyard inground pool (basicaly it fell ontop of the first/second step leading into the pool so it couldn't have been any more than a foot and a half of water), pulled it back out and to this day, it's been going strong without any problems!
