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?"

      Also, it's "curved to fit." What it fits, well... I think the last time I saw that phrase used to sell something, it was a feminine hygeine commercial.

    I think the Creative player's battery is "removable" in the sense that you just pop a little cover open and the battery comes out. The iPod battery is "removable" in the same sense that my internal organs are "removable."

    Zen microchips, eh?

    A monk asked Chao-chou, "Does the microchip have a buddha nature or not?"

    Chao-Chou said, "Mu."
