We've been waiting and waiting and finally, it's here! OK, well, not here 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
