Creative Zen Micro Ships Today

Posted by michael on from the rock-garden-optional dept.

SpaFF writes "Today Amazon started shipping the shipping the Zen Micro, Creative's answer to the Ipod-mini and one of several touted 'ipod-killers' due out for the holiday season. Sporting 5GB of space, a form-factor similar to the Ipod-mini, built-in FM radio, and a REMOVABLE battery, the Zen Micro looks quite promising. Does anyone know if this thing will work with Linux?"

    The iPod's battery is removable too. It's quite easy to replace it. Did this moron think it was welded to the circuitboard?

  2. why all the iPod animosity? by SallyMac · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I'm not sure why so many people are always so eager to bash the iPod. It has a removable battery as well.

    That being said, I like that it comes in colors, although I don't like the colors it comes in.
