Apple probably won't lose any sleep over the Zen Stone Plus. It may have more capacity, features and slightly better sound quality than the Shuffle, but it's fiddly to use and the screen is more of an adornment than a truly useful addition. It doesn't look as good, doesn't have that really handy built-in clip, and battery life isn't great. In the end, I can't help being disappointed in what has widely been touted as a Shuffle killer. Those who desperately want more capacity will probably choose the Plus over the Shuffle. Anyone with an Apple axe to grind or a library of WMA tracks will too, but I really can't say it's the better player for all that.

I have had a Stone for about 5 months and have found it a little flaky in terms of its user interface and the amount of times its needs to be reset. The sound quality is nowhere near as good as the Ipod Nano my kids have in the house, nor as reliable. Since Apple lifted the digital protection rights, it’s no contest by the Nano.

Moreover it broke and I have returned it to Creative within its warranty period, and the back up service is very inefficient and it’s taken over month of emails and still no return as yet.

Overall my impression is that the product is ok at best for its price but the support and back up is poor, spend a little more and get something better.
