Creative Zen Micro Photo released in Singapore

We've been waiting and waiting and finally, it's here! OK, well, not exactly, but the fact that the Creative Zen Micro Photo is for sale at all is a good sign that it will be out in the United States in time for the holidays. Right now, the player is available at the company's Singapore-based online store for S$469, which is about $277 U.S. Not awful for an 8GB device with a color OLED screen, but we're hoping prices come down a bit for the stateside release. Here are some more specs to digest:

• 3.3 by 2 by 0.7 inches (same as the monochrome-screen Micro)
• 4 ounces
• 1.5-inch screen
• 96dB signal-to-noise ratio
• Rated 15-hour battery life
• Removable, rechargeable battery
• FM radio and recorder
• Voice recorder
• Onboard calendar
• Supports MP3, WMA, Janus, WAV, IMA ADPCM
• Supports JPEG files and slide shows
• USB 2.0 connectivity
