Short of adding the kitchen sink, Creative Labs has managed to squeeze a speaker inside it’s tiny Zen Stone and Zen Stone Plus MP3 players.
OK, let’s assume that you won’t be shaking the walls here but it’s still going to be handy for those of us that don’t like wearing earphones all the time and for those times when we want to share our music with friends without getting their ear wax back in return. Icky, but true.
The Zen Stone comes in 1GB and 2GB capacities while the Zen Stone Plus is available in 2GB and 4GB models. Battery life is rated at 20 hours. All models sport in-built FM radio, customisable graphic equaliser, clock/stopwatch and voice recording.
They come in matte black, dark blue, pink or champagne and each one comes with a skin and clip accessory. You can see more info on the European site here but no prices yet.-Martin Lynch

It is about time somebody put a speaker onto an mp3/mp4 player. Hardly rocket science, is it?
This is insane, already we have to put up with unwashed teenagers playing their music through their mobile phone speakers whilst on a train or in a public place, to the general annoyance of all around them, but now we have an emerging trend to provide the same anti-social feature to music players directly! Music is a very personal thing, and no-one wants to hear a tinny Fiddy-Cent 'rapping' about about how he slaps his women whilst dodging bullets.
THEYVE BEEN DOING IT ON FAKE MP4 PLAYERS MADE IN CHINA FOR YEARS
