Creative gets creative with their MP3 player Zen Neeon

So Creative is gettin' cocky because they were awarded a patent that could possibly place Apple and the iPod in a delicate situation. Instead of strutting around, maybe they should check out what they do and what they ship, maybe? Creative MP3 Players Shipped with Windows Virus:

Multimedia company Creative acknowledged that 3,700 of the company's Zen Neeon MP3 players that shipped from a company factory in late July contain a Windows worm.

The 5GB Neeon digital audio players contain a copy of W32.Wullik.B, according to a statement posted on Creative Technology Ltd.'s Japanese language Web site.
