Creative Zen Neeon

As soon as I saw the new Creative Zen Neeon, I knew this was the mp3 player I’ve been waiting for. I fell in love with it. Why? Because I’m a sucker for packaging. The Neeon has 7 different changeable LED backlights on each player, plus there are 10 colorful metal faceplates to choose from. What I really love, though, are the Creative stik-ons - easily changeable decorative skins that come in one of 4 themes. The picture features a stik-on from the Eden collection. (By the way, I’m not typo-ing…it’s really spelled "stik-on" and "neeon.") The tech specs aren’t bad either: 5 GB capacity, 16-hour rechargeable lithium battery, and built-in voice recorder. No word on a release date or pricing yet.

UPDATE!!
