Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen Micro 5 GB MP3 Player Pink
Digital camera Review: iPod's biggest threat
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this Zen Micro for my wife since she wanted to experience digital music. I picked up the package for her at UPS and was quite impressed by the packaging of the device. Even in its packaging they are trying to compete against the all powerful iPod. The result is a very well packaged and impressive product. When I first laid eyes on this device it was love at first sight. Yes, even if the device itself is a pink colored one. Its small, well built, easy on the eyes, yet its beauty captivates you from every angle. After my wife charged it for three hours, I took the pleasure of holding it and playing with a gadget that doesn't even belong to me. I was impressed with the powerful, beutiful light that both, surrounds the device and lights up the screen. Its a nice blueish relaxing color. Nothing too loud to distract you. This is definately the device that many will see and approach you in the subway and ask: "what is that?" then you can show it and say: "is my Zen Micro", and leave people going home searching on google for the device. I love iPods, but I was very impressed and captured by the beautiful toy. Now, don't let its beauty fool you. This is one powerful device. 5G, 2,500 songs, FM Radio, voice recorder, calendar, to-do list and wonderful sound. It is enough to hold up its own and I dare say stomp on the competition. The only reason why I don't see it beating the iPod in terms of sales is that I don't believe it to be marketed effectively. If they spend some millions on commercials (never seen one), printed ads and even those big billboards, then, you can really say they have a chance. I do hope that word of mouth is enough to give this small, wonderful device the credit it deserves. Zen, you won my heart. Now, if you excuse me, my wife might be home soon and find me playing with her Zen... a big no, no.
