Creative’s Zen Krystal MP3 Materialises Out of Nowhere
3:39AM Sean Fallon | It kind of looks like a Zen Stone, and it is certainly a far cry from the Zen X-Fi, but this little MP3 player has been discovered hiding on Creative’s Hong Kong site. Apparently, the 4GB Zen Krystal is designed to be a sports player with a pedometer that functions similarly to the Nike+ line. It also includes games like “Hurdle Race, Catch & Dodge and Dice Roll” as well as a Blue 0.7″ OLED, FM radio, and 10 hours of playback. A price and a release date have not been made available.

The device also keeps you entertained on your journey by acting as a kind of geographic Wikipedia for you. Confused? Read on. More »

This makes a lot more sense than strapping a full sized pedometer to your arm or belt and living with it in tow. Most walking is probably done down city blocks, across the office to the laser printer, and through the mall during sale season. [Sportline via Digital Trends] More »
