As a low-end MP3 player, the Creative Zen Mozaic is well worth a look. Despite the American spelling, there really isn't much to dislike about this one, and there's plenty to love.

At launch, the 2GB version costs £50, which is remarkably cheap when you stop to consider what you're getting for your money.

The second-generation Apple iPod Shuffle costs about £32 for nothing but 1GB of memory and a clip to attach to your clothing.

But for £20 more, the Zen Mozaic offers you a whole world of fun.

The 1.8-inch colour screen is very low res, but it's perfectly adequate and makes navigating through your music very easy.
