What the Critics are saying about the Zen Micro

Ease of Use: very ease to use

Design:  roughly the size of  a small altoids tin. thicker than the iPod mini but shorter and conforms to your hand better  then the ipod mini due to curved underside.

Software: Windows based

Sound Quality:   very clean and powerful sound; earbuds are  above average

Connectivity: can use Windows media

Batteries: around 12 hours

PRO'S: Built-in FM tuner/recorder; voice recorder; excellent sound       quality: ten different color choices; built-in personal information manager (PIM) synchronizes with Microsoft outlook .      

CON'S: Records voice and FM tuner in WAV format only verses MP3 therefore will use up more space on hard drive; no dedicated volume control; Touch-pad navigation may need some adjusting of sensitivity for some users liking. MP3.com
