Creative Technology Ltd, through its local distribution partner Annex Distribution, announces a refreshing breed of MP3 players - the charismatic Creative Zen Neeon - that empowers fashionable MP3 users to carry an ostensibly different player everyday through the application of Creative Stik-On skins, reflecting their different personalities, styles and moods.
With an elegant, reflective black piano finish, this lightweight, pint-sized digital wonder packs a surprising large 5GB storage capacity, built-in FM tuner, voice recorder and even line-in recording capabilities in a package of just the size of a small matchbox.
But what really sets it apart from other MP3 players is its ability to change its looks easily - thanks to Creative Stik-On skins. These accessories fasten securely to the Zen Neeon, yet peel off easily when the inclination for change strikes. The initial launch of Creative Stik-On skins will feature 16 designs, with more to come in the near future. New designs will be available at asia.creative.com/zen.
As further testament to Creative`s drive to offer more choices to customers, the Zen Neeon comes in 10 different brushed metal backplate colours. Coupled with seven changeable LED backlight colours, the Zen Neeon offers a large degree of customisability, making it appeal to a broad consumer segment.
"The Creative Zen Neeon is a reflection of the company`s rapid response to daily changes within the digital lifestyle market. It is a very exciting, very funky MP3 contribution and we are excited about the impact this device is likely to have with consumers," comments Chris Anderson, Creative Product Manager at Annex Distribution. "People are different, their technology habits are diverse and often reflect personal taste and requirements."
Creative Stik-On skins are available separately in the form of a two-piece pack and four-piece pack. The design themes currently available include Eden, Kawaii, Funky and Safari. New designs will be available at asia.creative.com/zen.
In addition, consumers will be spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting accessories to accompany their Zen Neeon. Immediately available are speakers including the I-Trigue 3400 2.1 speakers and SBS Vivid 60 2.0 speakers, both available in 10 exuberant colours and which enable users to transform their Zen Neeon players into mini sound systems for their living rooms. Alternatively, consumers can choose the Creative EP480 Earphones which are also available in 10 cool colours.
The suggested retail price of the Creative Zen Neeon is R1 999 VAT incl.
