Instead, they’re Micros with different size hard drives, but not *that* different. The 5 GB will be joined by a 6 GB, 4 GB and 1 GB model. The 1 Gig will cost $199 when it hits the shelves sometime in Q1. The 4 Gig will only cost 30 bucks more, $229, and the 6 will run $299."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/zenmicro-quicklook.jpg" /> <br /><br />It also appears that these new Zen Micro models have the firmware that support PlaysForSure installed by default so you can just use Windows Media Player instead of Creative's applications. 8)
