Remarks

Except for the initally popup, the rest of the iPod Mini's installation was boring and ordinary. In fact, it wasn't as non-geek friendly as I had hoped it would be.

On the other hand, the Zen Micro's installation was colourful and intuitive. Again, this is an improvement from previous Creative products.
