Creative Introduces Teeny Tiny Zen Stone - gizmodo link.

I think it's pretty cute. We all know that it mimics the Apple iPod shuffle (2nd gen), but judging from the pictures, the Zen Stone looks decent.

$39.99 for 1GB, or $49.99 with the clip. Not bad.

Not bad at all. If I could use it with iTunes I might get one...

Nice player for $40.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

What are the headphones like?

So for $40 you get just the player... if you want a clip it will cost you $10.

I'd actually want one of those with the keychain; at least it still works through drag and drop.

Nice price, and not bad-looking, either. They'll sell like hotcakes to Apple-haters, but I don't expect it to chink anything out of the Shuffle's market.

I never said iTunes was worse. Don't put words in my mouth. "At least it's drag and drop" refers to the fact that I can use this on a Mac, unlike other Zens.

What am I am mind reader? You said drag and drop and iTunes seems drag and drop to me. I've tried the old creative flash sticks and they even worked in iTunes.

The new ones don't, from what I know.

Drag and drop didn't originate in iTunes, either, BTW.
