ZEN Neeon 2 Player and Creative PoPz Speakers are good to go

Creative_zen_neeon_2

Creative Technology has certainly been persistant in their effort to compete with Apple's iPod players.  Their recently introduced  ZEN V and ZEN V Plus players are impressive, and now Creative have released the spankin' new ZEN Neeon 2 multimedia player that plays music, video, photos and FM radio. Smaller than the Zen V, this new player measures just 81mm x 42mm x 12.5mm and weighs 50g. The ZEN Neeon 2 is available in either 4GB, 2GB or 1GB of storage capacities, all include a voice recorder, line in recording and a 1.5" colour display for viewing photos and videos.

Creative also have new pocket-sized companion speakers for the ZEN Neeon 2, and Zen V players that they like to call PoPz speakers. The portable speakers work without any use of batteries, they are powered from your audio device, so they're good-to-go.

The ZEN Neeon 2, with an elegant black piano surface finish, comes in 5 unique brushed-metal backplate colours. Launching together with the player are new selections of Creative Stik-On skins, each set featuring 4 characters that represent different music genres. Each product comes with a free Creative Stik-On skin as well. These funky Creative Stik-On skins allow users to embellish, personify and more importantly express themselves through their digital music players.
