Creative Zen Micro Ships Today

Posted by michael on Friday November 5, 2004 @04:22AM 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?"

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."

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.
