Creative announced a series of price cuts on their Zen Micro line today. This is clearly a reaction to Apple squeezing prices downward last week with the new iPod Minis, which are $199 for 4GB and $249 for 6GB now.
The "incredible new pricing" from Creative brings the 4GB model down to $180 (after a $20 rebate), $230 for 5GB and $250 for 8GB.
Does Creative really need 3 capacity choices here? That 5GB model really seems to be in no-man's-land. But then again, this is war.
I think you had a typo in your postings, the 3 sizes of the Zen Micro are 4,5,6 not 4,6,8gb. I agree, what is the point of the 5gb anymore except that it is available on the shelves now. Too bad they can't improve battery life to 18 hours like the Minipod though.
