Creative introduces update to Zen Neeon - the Neeon 2

Creative is not only fighting Apple in court, but with their products as well. The new Zen Neeon 2 got a color screen, has a FM radio and comes in 1, 2 and 4GB variants costing $125, $170 and $190. They are a bit smaller than the Nano, but not as thin, but the battery lasts around 20 hours. With all these features, they may even have a fighting chance.

I get it, they are nice and small, but you can get Nano's now for $169. Personally I don't see the sense in either when you can get a 30GB 5th gen iPod video for $229.... and don't say any crap about exercising, I run 3 miles with my 30GB iPod a couple times a week, they aren't that big or heavy.

uptdate?

You dont want to jog with a 5th gen ipod, or any hard drive based mp3 player because it will jostle the head on the platters and create scratches. You wont notice for a while, but there will be little bits in songs that kind of just stretch or go silent because of the damaged platters. And after a while you will get the infamous sad mac logo upon bootup
