The cost of many MP3 players are expected to fall after one of the cheapest players was launched on the market.
The Zen Stone, made by Singapore-based Creative labs, will hit shop shelves in two weeks’ time and will cost just £27.99, significantly less that the £55 iPod shuffle. Creative claims that its new player, which like the shuffle has 1Gb of memory, is just as good, if not better.
The new players, which fit into the palm of a hand, come in six different colors.
Technology website engadget, which reviewed the new player, proclaimed, “Doesn’t look like we’ve got an iPod-killer here”, pointing out that at 18.3 grams it is considerably heavier than an iPod shuffle.
What do you think of this new MP3 player, would you buy it instead of an iPod Shuffle?
