My new Creative Zen Micro 5GB

[grooveman]

Just got myself a new Creative Zen micro 5GB for 13k.

Its gr8.Its good a good build not as good as d Ipod of course but good enough 4 me. Anyways the touchpad is a delight but could have been designed more attractively. Its FM radio is awesome and also allows u 2 record songs off the air but its doesnt hav some delay facility whereby it stores the song in a 28 sec buffer so that u dont hav 2 start recording exactly at d beginning of d song like in the case of Archos Gmini. However the sound reproduction is clear and crisp. It produces all the bells and whistles required 4 an amazing audio experience. The earphones r of good quality and u experience no ear fatigue even after listening 4 prolonged hours.Music transfer frustrates u as u hav 2 use Creative software 2 achieve it although they now do a fix with which u can use Windows Media Player 10.The transfer rate is decent say abt 1 GB per 6min.This baby came with a USB charger a USB data chord and a wired remote.I absolutely adore the remote. Its so cute.If u want good value 4 money along with good features and gr8 audio i recommend this product. Ill give it say 3.5 out of 5.

Thats a good choice. Beats the iPod in everything except looks. Specially when you consider that iTunes service is not available in India.

well anyways iTunes is a rip off. So laying my guilt 2 rest i freely dnld off d P2P netwrks.good thing is dat this baby supports mp3, wav and wma. So quite a lot of options format wise. Nyways d way things r going d mp3 players r gonna end up supporting only ogg files as mp3 codec is copyrighted by Fraunhofer Tech. so not free. So r d mp3 players gonna b called ogg players or maybe even 'ogglers'. Who knows wht IFPI will force u 2 do next ?

Wise choise, I don't know Y U think ipod is better looking, it depends compleately on the user,

post some pics if possible, & tell us , how much storage from the 5 GB U can use as a pen drive, all of it or just 512 or 256 MB

I believe Nokia is making a phone with ipod built in also Motorola is coming with iriver.
So i guess the good technologies are merging finally.
