"Perfect for what it is...a no frills MP3 player"
Pros: sound is great, ease of use, size and look
Cons: no clip included
Summary: I purchased one a few weeks ago specifically for my workouts. My full sized Zen (microphoto)was too heavy & bulky for the gym.
My Stone has exceeded my expectations. It looks great and sounds even better. Drag and dropping files is a breeze. I loaded it up with over 200 songs. Do you really need more than that for the gym? I think not. I set it to shuffle through my song list and its workout heaven.
Battery life is pretty good and the unit charges in no time. In two hours it was fully charged via USB or with an optional charger which I purchased for my full sized Zen.
I traded the included earbuds for a decent pair of Sony buds and the sound is amazing. You'll need a "skin" which runs about $10. The skin not only protects the shiny surface from scratches but included a clip. I can't even feel the unit clipped to my shorts since it weighs next to nothing. For the gym there is no better device.
Unit was so good I had to get my wife one since I could never get her to return mine.
In a world of "pod" people there are better alternatives. Creative is the way to go as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you for the review. It helped my decision to buy this mp3 player. If I may ask does anybody know what the name of a case that includes a clip on it? I prefer clips over armbands.
