The Creative Zen Micro is just 3.3" x 2" x 0.7" and offers 5 GB of storage space, along with an FM tuner and voice recording. In addition, the rechargeable battery will be removable and lasts for 12 hours. The Creative Zen Micro employs similar technology to the Zen Touch, utilizing a vertical touchpad.
