Advantages: Up-to-date touch buttons

Disadvantages: Basic display panel, large for 6GB, stalls playback at times

In a competitive world of MP3 playing devices, the Creative Zen Micro for me was a major let down, and one I feel that will not be able to compete in the market for much longer, especially along side the ever changing IPod series.

The very basic and dull display is years behind, and it has tendancies to stall a lot when playing back music. The actual design is very large for a 6GB player, you only have to look at the IPod Mini to see the difference. (Plus the IPod Mini has video playback.)

The only good thing about the Creative Zen is its controls, which are quite modern in the sense of the touch pads, but this again is something the IPod has always done...standard!

With a very basic computer application, this Creative Zen is something that I will most definatly be putting on EBay at a low price, hoping someone will take it from me.

All in all...buy an IPod!

Summary: I would buy an IPod
