Apple iPod Mini & Creative Zen Micro
Side-by-Side
Now let's take a look at the two players together.
As you can see, the Zen Micro is noticeably shorter than the iPod Mini, and looks a little wider (but actually isn't if you see the specifications below). It is thicker than the iPod Mini, which Creative claims is due to the incorporation of a removable battery.
