Apple archrival Creative introduced its answer to Apple's iPod Shuffle Thursday. The Zen Stone offers the same 1 GB storage capacity of the Shuffle, but at half the price. The player, which will hit store shelves May 14, comes in six glossy colors: black, white, red, blue, pink and green, and is just a little more than 2 inches wide and less than 1 1/2 inches in height.
