Live shots of the Creative Zen Neeon

Creative Zen Neeon


Hardware Zone hit the press event for the launch of the Zen Neeon and walked away with a few live shots of the new 5GB MP3 player Creative officially rolled out last week. The Neeon is lighter and smaller than it's main competition, the iPod mini (75 g and 3.1 x 1.8 x 0.6-inches vs. 103 g and 3.6 x 2.0 x 0.5-inches), but then again its display is also smaller than the one found on Apple's player. The Neeon also has a built-in FM tuner and line-in recording, but Creative is big pimping the "Stik-On" skins that let you customize the player (Hardware Zone snapped the pic above of the first batch of Stik-On skins that are available). Stickers aren't exactly what we'd call an innovation (HP figured this one out last year, and there are loads of third-party skins out there for all sorts of MP3 players, cellphones, portable game consoles, etc.), but we'll let that slide.
