Zen Micro? Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

I'm about to return a Sony NW E407 because I'm absolutely hating the fact that I can't drag and drop songs onto it and the stupid software that sony sends with it. For only £8 more than I paid for the sony, Amazon is selling Zen 5gig Micros.

Opinions on the Zen? The reviews on amazon seem a bit....err...mixed.

Put an end to popups!

The touchpad, even on 'Low', is slightly too sensitive but otherwise I'm loving mine.

Zen Micro > iPod Mini

Not only in technical specs, but aesthetics and design.

The soft pulsing of the blue border is enough on its own.

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

The reviews on Amazon are worthless. Google "Zen micro review" instead. They also have a fairly good review on Tom's hardware. The Zen micro looks good, and I almost bought one. But the iPod mini's are cheaper right now. For the same price as a 5 GB Zen micro, you can get 6 GB iPod Mini. Plus I prefer the iPod's interface, its more intuitive. It takes a while to get used to the Zen's touchpad. I chose a 4 GB iPod mini basically because it was 80 $ cheaper than the 5 GB Zen. For that price, I'll get myself a decent pair of headphones. Still waiting for them...

Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

I'm tempted by the Archos Gmini XS200... similar in size and price to the Zen Micro, iPod Mini, and iRiver H10, but this player has 20 GB storage capacity instead of 4/5/6 GB. Reviews are positive on its audio playing qualities; it lacks additional functions (such as voice recording, image viewing, radio et cetera) but those aren't crucial.
