I got a Creative ZEN Micro....

Samwise... need... more... impressions...

[Evi]

and has a much better selection of solid colors as opposed to Apple\'s adoption of pastels which I always thought was weird especially since they do not include black as an option.

I just saw a commerical that sells custom wraps for iPods that look kick ASS!! *Goes to find link*

There you go...have fun There\'s some cool-looking skins for iPod on that site

EDIT: Hmmmm...holy crap. It\'s like 50 bucks for a custom color...that just lost the coolness factor. I don\'t think this is the site I was referring to. THe one I saw was 15...:/

Heh. What more can I say? I can\'t compare it to the iPod, because I never owned one. But I love the ZEN.

You love something else you dirty little hobbit.. Perfect size for it too.....

Nice piece of kit Sammy.

Love the look and 5Gig is just about right to put all your Fav tracks on and then some.



I would get one myself but I am going for this little bad boy  .

Dammit samwise I\'m set on the ipod mini, post some pics of yours to sway me so I can save a few bux and my sis can gain another gig.

How\'s the software that works with it?

[nO-One]

ooseven, the usb 1,1 would be a deal killer for me, way to slow to be acceptable.

But the amount of data he can transfer is hardly a problem for him either.

I\'ll post pics of Rya\'s Zen when it arrives either Friday or Monday.

Ryu, what color did you get?

I have a 20gig Zen Touch.

Its nice, the zen Micro is too high priced, for what little space you get. But it does have some nice features.

For the same price, you can get a 20gig Zen Touch also.

The Zen Touch only provides few features.  It\'s simply nothing more then a harddrive mp3 player.  That\'s great if you horde music, but some people just don\'t collect music like that.  The extra features of the Zen Micro makes it the perfect device for those who want a nice selection on the go without having to limit themselves to just that.  I picked Rya up the silver model.

Wise choice.

I\'m sure she\'ll like it.

How are you liking it Sammy?  It\'s hard as hell to find a pink micro, they\'re all sold out!
