Thread: Creative zen stone plus

Creative has given its barebones ZEN Stone a radical update. The new ZEN Stone Plus adds several features of the original Stone lacked: an OLED screen, twice the storage (i.e., 2GB), FM tuner, voice recording, a stopwatch / clock, and EQ options. Not surprisingly, this set of amendments also raises the price of $ 40 for the intentionally simple Stone to $ 70 for the more complex Stone Plus.



The ZEN Stone was great because it's as easy to use as an iPod shuffle, at half the price. The Stone Plus added features and higher price, however, have put in direct competition with some more graceful (and cheaper) solutions, like the Sansa Express, the Editors' Choice for inexpensive flash players.
