Creative Zen Micro Accessories

Dec 30, 2004 6:25AM PST

Just wanted to check...
Does the Creative Zen Micro come with a cradle/dock or do you have to buy one separately?
Also, does anyone know where I can buy a Zen Micro remote control?
Thanx !!

As far as I know....
Jan 3, 2005 11:54AM PST

They haven't released creative zen micro accessories yet. I think it some countries it came with a remote. So I know remotes have been made, but they aren't available in the U.S. I don't know if there will be a dock as there is no docking port on the bottom (I think). I still waiting for mine to ship!

No Docking Station
Jan 17, 2005 2:41AM PST

I received a Zen Micro over Christmas and found out that it has a weird stand that you plug the USB cable into, kinda like a docking station but not really. I have a Palm Pilot that has a true docking station, this is merely a shell which cables run through it. Two things I miss with this Zen and Creative should come out with is: A real docking station and a armband that holds the unit in while running. Thats all.

As a quick response - I'm so fed up with the lack of accessories for the Zen Micro, I'm developing my own Zen Micro Dock!.

docking station
Mar 15, 2005 11:28PM PST

yes and no...it comes with a moulded plastic stand type thing, which has holes in the top to plug the wires into the top of the zen micro while it is in the stand, i just use the usb2.0 wire, as it charges the player and you can load the music on at the same time. Don't know about the remote, I couldn't find anywhere that had it either. Many people moan about the sensitivity of the touchpad, but this can actually be changed to suit, so if you are contemplating buying one then don't let these people put you off. I bought one last month and have been really happy with it. If you have a humongous music collection and think you will quickly fill 5gb, you can go to a section on the menu that tells you what songs you rarely hear. Just delete these and load on the songs you want. Fantastic little gadget, and that blue light really does look amazing in low light.

oh yeah, and does anyone know where to get a cover for the zen micro, dropped mine yesterday from shoulder height and, although only slightly scratched, i think it really needs protection as i'm quite clumsy!
