+ Everything you expect in such a device for a very low price.

- Nothing to clip is to clothes. But it is so light and the wires of the earphones are so long that it is not a problem to keep the mp3 in a pocket while running or doing any sport.

Pocket Lint expert review

Almost a year on from its launch the Creative Zen Stone has been upgraded, but it's not just a case of the company adding more memory or offering a colour change to entice users. Somehow while keeping the size small, the company has added a speaker so you can share you music. Thing of fad or amazing technical prowess? We get listening to find out...

Pocket Lint expert review

Creative have finally got around to launching a miniature MP3 player that is small enough to take on the Apple Shuffle, but do nice things come in small packages? We get listening to find out. Twice the size of the metal shuffle (it’s roughly equivalent of two shuffle's side by side) the Creative Zen Stone is available in six glossy colours (black, white, red, blue, pink and green) and as you can imagine by the name, has rounded corners so it looks like a pebble or stone...
