Just thought i'd let ya all know that i am now the proud owner of a brand new Zen Micro.

This aint gonna be a review of it but i thought i'd just tell you all how cool it is! A mates got an Ipod and its way better than that! Sounds better, and the whole thing feels more solid than the ipod.

If anybody here is thinkin of buying an ipod then dont buy one of thease instead!!! :cool:

that looks horrible...

as an owner of an ipod 20 it has everything....except battery life lol although saying that mine has lasted from calais to somewhere in the south of france lol and plus the trip from hertford to dover

itunes is brilliant does everything for you the ipod itself has a ease of use about. Dont even have to lift ur thumb!

Yeah maybe so but i wouldn't like to be tied down to apples music format.:(

There DRM is very naughty and people should be able to choose which format they want to use on there portable music player, it's there right as they have paid for the priveledge.

You won't find me buying an Ipod, i'll go for a player where i can choose what i want when i want....:D

Sheep comes to mind..:p

I've found all Ipod owners to be really defensive, almost agressive, when the integrity of their machine is questioned.

Brain-washed, the lot of 'em :p

If and when I ever buy a personal player, after all I've read, heard and seen, I'd go for the Zen.

I've had a Creative Zen for about 4 months now, and love it. I think its much better than the Ipod because its cheaper, battery last longer, looks more stylish and its the size of a credit card for christ sake! It plays WMA and MP3 which are the only music format i own, so it does its job ;).

I'd upload ya a picture of it which i took next to a credit card and ya could see, but i cant get the upload attachments to work :/.

I thinking very hardly of buying a 20GB Ipod from Ebay for around 130pounds ...

Since my LAME Mini Ipod has gone bust and i bought it for 200pounds !!!

That sucks big time so just wondering ... i might get a Zen but i LOVE the "Click wheel" on the Ipod so ...

ipods rule :p

they ease class although there are other alternatives for it but they just dont do it for me

the zen things look ugly and bulky things my friend has one and the sensor thing is way to sensitive!!

what do you prefer the looks of the ipod or the reliability and better functions of the Zen? personally after trying both i prefer the zen it is by far better than the ipod even if it doesn't look as good

Them tell him to turn the sensitivity down! Goto, System > Player Settings > Touchpad > Sensitivity > Low

Bulky!? - Its smaller than a deck of 20 fags!!! :confused:

I too bought a ZEN MICRO last week, and i think it's an amazing little toy. Personally I think it looks fantastic - with the subtle, yet downright cool lighting effect of the whole front panel. The navigation using the central slider is a bit tricky to get used to, but once you do, it's great, quite easy to find your way around. The features too are great, with multiple music formats, FM radio (with recorder), voice recorder, easy music library navigation, and you can even set a section of the 5GB capacity as a USB drive for transfering files.

OK so it's only 5GB, compared to 20GB on some, but really does anyone NEED to carry about 20GB of music. I currently have 861 tracks on mine, with a little room to spare, and even if i do want some more music on it, it is easy to remove/transfer/swap new songs to it. Battery life is supposed to be about 12hrs too (although thats probabally under best lab conditions), due to it being solid state memory instead of HDD based.

;) Forget the IPod, get Creative. Get a ZEN MICRO. ;)

I will have a full review of it soon for you all. :)
