Worth The Money?

Ad

The Zen Micro can look at its official competitor, the iPod Mini, squarely in the eye. While it may be a little less snazzy design-wise and not as user-friendly when exchanging files with a PC compared to the iPod, the Zen Micro offers a gigabyte more memory and sound quality that's just as good, plus better earphones, a few extra functions (FM radio and voice recorder), and slightly better battery life (10 hours compared to an average of eight for the iPod). All for essentially the same price, depending on where you buy it.
