Creative Zen Micro 5GB MP3 player 1GB, 4GB and 6GB models

Creative announced that it will address the strong consumer demand for its Zen Micro 5GB MP3 player by introducing 1GB, 4GB and 6GB models. The new Zen Micro players will be previewed this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
"Since we first shipped the Zen Micro 5GB model in November, we have experienced tremendous demand and sold out in many locations," said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative. "To meet this overwhelming demand we plan to increase our production capacity significantly this quarter. At the same time, we have introduced a variety of prices and capacities for the Zen Micro: a 1GB flash memory-based model for only $199 and a 4GB model for only $229, which has twice the song capacity of the iPod mini and far more features for a lower price. We even introduced a Zen Micro with 6GB capacity that can hold more than 3,000 songs."

By the end of 2004 -- just two months after its introduction -- the 5GB model of the Zen Micro won three prestigious awards from the media, enjoyed a successful retail launch event at J&R in New York, and sold out at many retail stores during the holidays.

The Power of Zen Micro

The Zen Micro surpasses previous generation players like the iPod mini by delivering the features that music listeners want. The Zen Micro in every capacity offers:

-- MP3 and WMA support -- The Zen Micro lets the listener choose MP3 or WMA music, ripped from CDs or downloaded from online music sites;
-- Micro-sized -- At only 3.3" tall, the Zen Micro is small yet powerful;
-- Curved to fit -- Nestles in the palm of your hand and slides smoothly into your pocket;
-- Mesmerizing blue glow -- Luminescent blue glow comes alive with a single touch;
-- 10 electrifying colors -- A full spectrum of vibrant colors to suit every style and personality;
-- Up to 12-hour battery life -- Enjoy your music all day long on a single charge;
-- Removable, rechargeable battery -- Unique ability to extend playtime by another 12 hours with a spare battery;
-- FM radio and recorder -- Listen to and record crystal-clear FM radio with 32 preset station settings;
-- Voice recorder -- Use the built-in microphone for voice recording;
-- Vertical Touch Pad control -- Touch-sensitive controls and intuitive vertical scrolling for easy navigation;
-- Access over two million downloadable songs -- Choose from the widest selection of downloadable songs on the Internet through MSN Music and other Zen-supported music services, such as Napster, MusicMatch, and the Wal-Mart music download store.
Windows Media Player 10 DRM and PlaysForSure(TM) Support
