[Creative] Introducing the Zen Stone +

pleasant Co.

Today Creative have officially announced the Zen Stone +
Here we are talking about more of the same really, but with a screen and double the memory!
Prices have yet to be announced but expect them to fall just short of the price of an ipod shuffle.


You can read all about it here

I was only thinking last week how it;d be great if the Stone had a radio.
No pricing or info on creative.ie yet.. Know I'll be ordering one as soon as
there is. Can't see it being expensive

pleasant Co.

I'll be reviewing the iriver S10 next week so I hope I get the chance to do a head to head of these two!

Price: 64 US dollars (approx change from singaporean dollars)

Fugly as hell

It's listed on the irish site now, but no price, good news though, I was about to get the stone but felt the 1gb and no screen was a little limiting, this is perfect!

I would agree, if this was a much larger unit... but it is only the size of the shuffle, which makes this design very slick.

each to their own i guess

Same link as I already posted but it now has the price, €69.99, another €30 on the existing stone for the extra memory/features seems fair, espically with the EU tax on anything with an FM radio, although I'm not sure how much that is...

I was getting trojan warning as soon as I went to that site.

Gran Hermano

I mailed Creative yesterday re: pricing and availability and they informed me
they'd have them in stock from Monday. The also mentioned a 10% discount
if you order via their sales phone-line rather than purchasing online

Yes that seems to happen, not sure why as there are no viruses on that site. I'm a long time member there and my PC has never gotten a virus.
It seems certain anti spyware software flag dapreview, most notably norton.

We do not know why a warnings pop up, there are no viruses on the site, its been looked into and nothing was turned up.

I'm using Avast, just so you know.

pleasant Co.

Fair enough, I'll let the boss know that avast is picking something up too... obviously something is triggering this.. but other than reports no one has actually gotten a virus from our site.

Tried that site just now and it froze Firefox completely. Couldn't even get into Task Manager to end the process.

Looks like the warning isn't coming from your site at all. Interesting though. Captured by Avast's on-access web scanner.

pleasant Co.

Thanks for that slutmonkey, I'll be passing this on.

soundman try it again, the site did not freeze firefox, firefox just freezes for random reasons at times

pleasant Co.

we think we have solved the problem, so if anyone gets any alerts could you please let me know ASAP

Never had problems with FF before unless there is serious java activity on sites. That site seems fine now though.
