i'd get the Mini iPod, it has 6 gig storage, and 18 hours battery life. Plus, if your battery runs out within a year which was bought (comes with free 1 year warrenty), you can go to any iPod store and ask them to change the battery for free. as long as your battery life is 50% dead they will change the batteries for you, but make sure you keep the receipt. and if you really want protection i think you can get a 2 year warrenty plan for like 30$. anywa

Have you actually heard of someone getting a new battery under warranty? I bet there's something about the battery not being covered.

Nice link, I guess I should give the Zen Micro a shot.

RIP, I have several zen micros, (family demand after first one) the last one I got came with 2 batteries....so look around ...some colors only have one battery in pkg.
hooked up software, no problem with windows 2000 but had problem with xp home
not much help from manufacture site. Anyway if it gives you trouble, just go to the cd
supplied and scroll down to english...then go to driver and use the 2nd one listed...dbl click
and when this installs you will be ready to go. it is a nice unit, the sound is great.

actually on the box of the warrenty... it clearly states that it would change your batteries if it ever dies.. or if it was under 50%, as long as your warrenty didn't expire.

if u get an mini now u get the new ones...

the color is waay more vibrant and its a bit smaller and the battery life is 18hrs

and if u dont harass the ipod battery then it should last you years and years.
