A review of the new Creative Zen Stone portable audio player has been posted over at Anything But iPod. 'The Zen Stone is coated in a hard, smooth plastic giving it the feel of a nicely polished river rock. The plastic is the same material found on the Zen V Plus and is fairly scratch resistant; it will scratch but not easily under typical use. It is pleasant to hold in your hand and lends to a very useable design - small but not too small to use for bigger hands.A nice touch added to the left side of the player is a place to connect a lanyard for wearing around your neck. The standard USB plug is found on the bottom with the headphone jack located on the top. On the left face of the player is an LED that will indicate the status of the player and the battery level with various flashing sequences and LED colors.'
