Advantages: Great quality

Disadvantages: No color screen

The Zen Micro is an extremely high quality MP3 player with many additional features guaranteed to create an impact on most of us.
This gadjet is 10 cm tall by 4 cm wide and is designed to make it fit comfortably in a hand and in the pocket.
The touchpad takes some getting used to (It is a little more complex than the Ipod wheel) but scrolling through hundred's of songs is perfectly possible, specially if you keep your finger at the bottom or top of the scroll pad, since the zen will understand this and activate a fast scroll mode (a neat trick which surprisingly, is not in the user guide). The battery lasts for quite a long time and with this model (about 12 hours) which should be enough for most people.
The overall sound quality is great, specially if you use the many equalizer prefixes that are included with the player. On the other hand, the headphones included are very big and do not fit comfortably in the ears, hence I recomend potential buyers to look for some high quality ear phones on the side.
The MP3 player includes many options but lacks a color screen and video viewing functionalities.
The radio mode is quite decent. The zen micro allows fast searching, naming of radio stations and up to 30 presets which should be enough for most people but be advised, the zen uses the headphone cord as an antena hence the reception is far from the best.

Summary: a very decent MP3 player if you just want high quality sound
