DAPreview reviews the Zen MicroPhoto

[comfortablyNUMB]

One of the guys at DAPreview found out that Best Buy is stocked up on Microphotos, but they're not on display yet, and they only have grey. So he bought one and posted a review. Unfortunately the guys was pretty dissapointed, and so was I. Horrible screen resolution, you can't listen to music and look at pics at the same time...and other things.

This is the Micro's screen (on the top) vs. the Nano's. You can see how much nicer the Nano's screen is in terms of resolution.

Yuck.....that does look pretty bad.

Wait, the buttons on the Zen Micro are heat-sensitive? Not that Creative really sucks, but that isn't such a great idea.

Well they're touch sensitive like the click-wheel, I don't know why they called it "heat sensitive." But it's the same sensitive as the clickwheel.

No, I don't think the review called the Zen Micro heat-sensitive. But the thing with the clickwheel is that it basically only reacts to an object that is giving off heat.

Another thing - you'll have to put the player in hold-mode (to deactivate the buttons) if you plan on carrying it your pocket or whatever, or else the buttons will randomly fire off like you were touching them.
Am I correct in my thinking that all Zen Micros do that?

Well yeah, basically any player that has touch sensitive buttons will be effected while in a pocket, not just that one. So you're correct.
