The Neeon 2 is anchored by a photo-compatible 1.5-inch color screen (the old Neeon was monochrome) with a relatively meager 128×128 resolution. You also get the option to personalize your player by adding Creative Stik-On skins. The Neeon 2, available in late August, also boasts video playback, FM and voice/line-in recording, and has the same GUI as the Zen V Plus. In other words, the little guy is stacked with features. It does sound a bit like the Zen V Plus, as CNETAsia says: “The Zen Neeon 2 is a beguiling update to the Neeon line. With a sleek form factor and varied new features, it’s a worthwhile consideration for those looking for a masculine look to the cutesy Creative Zen V Plus.”

Charm. Dazzle. Fascinate. And let your personality shine through with the Creative ZEN Neeon, an MP3 player that lets you do just that. With Creative Stik-Ons™ - decorative skins for the player’s cover - you decide how your player looks. No more boring blacks or washed out whites. Easily change your player’s cover with these wildly colorful skins. You’ll be just as happy with its classic piano black finish, complete with a choice of 10 different brushed-metal backplate colors. Now available in 5GB and 6GB models which hold up to 3000 songs.-
Review By Asia.cnet
The Neeon 2 retains our gripe about not having equalizer controls tied to the music contextual sub-menu, which requires the user to navigate out to the main menu in order to tweak his music. It also lacks the keyword search feature that is present in the Zen Vision:M and Zen V Plus.
Button tactile response is good on the Neeon 2 and the unit feels sturdy in terms of construction. Oddly, though, Creative bundled in a pouch that can easily hold two Neeon 2s side-by-side. It’s too big. We would have preferred a more form-fitting carrying solution. For sticker lovers, a free Stik-On is included in the package to start you off on your Stik-On collection.

Just as gorgeous as its predecessor, it comes with more power-packed features and personalization options, while maintaining slender dimensions. View your videos and photos in full color on the sharp 1.5″ screen, and enjoy up to 20 hours of continuous audio playback. You can also record songs directly in WMA format from a CD/MD player or anything else with the integrated mic.
