iPod Mini vs. Creative Zen Micro

Which one should I buy? :unsure:
The iPod is great and everything, but people say the battery kills over in around 9 months. And the battery isn't user replaceable, which will be a hassle.
The Creative Zen Micro has a removable battery, so that kind of solves that problem. It has a radio with the ability to record voice and radio, the iPod doesn't. But people say with the Zen Micro, after months of usage, the headphone jack gets loose.

Also, the Zen Micro doesn't work as a USB Mass Storage device, and you have to use the software it comes with.
If only the iPod had a removable battery thats easy to swap like the Zen Micro. Does anyone have either of the two products? Anything I should know? What should I buy?
Re: iPod Mini vs. Creative Zen Micro
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
Re: iPod Mini vs. Creative Zen Micro
Actually, I thought the iPod Mini had 4GB of storage. :unsure:
The Zen Micro has 5GB.
And CircuityCity (where I'm buying from) has the 2 year warrenty for $65. :-/
Re: iPod Mini vs. Creative Zen Micro
i'd get a zen just to be non-conformist ;)
Re: iPod Mini vs. Creative Zen Micro
There's a 4 Gig iPod (200$) and a 6 Gig iPod (250$)
and holy crap they over priced that warrenty like crazy, is there any official Apple store near you?
Re: iPod Mini vs. Creative Zen Micro
hmm... i found the retail price was 59.99 for the protection plan.... i guess i got it for a discount or something

Yeah thats what I was going to do. :P
The iPods are actually overrated, people think iPod's are the only MP3 players in the world. Stupid Zen Micro with its headphone jack problem.
@Monkeee
Yeah I guess you did, $60 is way too much.
Re: iPod Mini vs. Creative Zen Micro
actually if i were you, i'd just get the zen, it has a radio lol, i want a radio on my ipod!!!
Re: iPod Mini vs. Creative Zen Micro
Yeah, thats what I like over the iPod. It has a radio, and you can even record off the radio, thats pretty neat.
Re: iPod Mini vs. Creative Zen Micro
