Creative has updated their website to include the upcoming 5GB audio player, the Creative Zen Micro. Dimensions are a slim 3.3"x2.0"x0.7" (compared with the iPod Mini at 3.6"x2.0"x0.5") and it weighs 3.8oz (0.2 oz more than the Mini).
Don't Creative doesn't know exactly who its competitor is? Here's the description of the vertical touch pad, used for navigation:
No more going round in circles to find the song you want, we all know that the quickest distance between two points is a straight line. Zen Micro's vertical touch pad and touch sensitive controls are designed to be intuitive so that searching through songs or playlists is easy, quick and fun - try taking a cruise down this strip.
Creative is taking pre-orders at the $249 retail price at 1-800-998-1000.
Has anyone heard of a problem (and fix) with the Creative Zen Micro mp3 player? The problem is that it shuts down
by itself after some 10 to 20 mins (even with the battery
charged)?
Thanking you in advance.
