Got forty bucks in your pocket? Then you've got enough to pick up the Creative Zen Stone. At 2.1-by-1.4-by-0.5 inches, this newly announced MP3 player lacks a screen, radio, and any sort of extras. What it does have is 1GB of storage, up to 10 hours of battery life, and a mere .88 ounces of weight so you don't get bogged down while you work out.
To facilitate its wearability, several accessories are available, including an armband with protective skin, a keychain case, and colored skins equipped with a clip. According to Creative's online store, the Stone is available immediately in black, with blue, red, pink, white, and green (which looks strangely yellow onscreen) to arrive shortly. Hey, it doesn't get much cheaper than that, folks--'cept if it came free with your cereal box.
