Just an update:
I tried to buy the Creative Stone from rediff (creative online store points to rediffshopping, vendor Creative). You cannot select the colour of your choice, so after a couple of heated emails I got my order cancelled, because they said they'll ship whatever is in stock and can't guarantee colour of my choice. Luckily they did not complete the transaction from their end.
I bought a Transcend 2 GB player which plays mp3/wma and has FM radio and voice recorder for Rs. 2650 (inclusive of all taxes) here in Mangalore. What I liked about it is its ease of use. Just plug it into your system and copy the mp3 files, no software installation, no messy drivers. No charger is provided with the set as it charges through the USB port when it is connected to your pc.
