Creative Zen Micro for Excercise?

by jend - 12/27/04 11:12 AM

Hello,
I am wondering if the Zen Micro would be small enough to take jogging. Should I go to a flash based player? Can the Zen Micro operate alright if I'm bouncin' around? I'm also interested in the Iaudio G3. Anybody have this? Any help is appreciated.

I hope people respond to this. I really like the micro's features, but I know I want to jog....1gb vs 5gb if I go to flash (I like the Creative N200 1gb a lot).

It's small enough but you may damage the hardrive

So, I would suggest a flash player instead

I DO run with it on my belt

A lot of people buys M3players for running, or working out. That was the reason I first bought a 128K flash player to try it out one year ago (not a creative).
3 "customer needs" came to my mind during this trial: wanted more song, organize the songs and especially have better sound quality.
So I bought a 512K one before xmas (also not a creative one), but when I tried the Zen Micro sound quality last week, I got one.
It took a few days to get used to the touch panel now I love it and, I was surprised to see that it never skips during jogging if you hold it tight to your belt to prevent the shaking. I use the Zen belt clip and an elastic belt over it so it stays bonded to my waist.
On 2 occasions it stopped and I had to remove the battery and put it back (5 seconds operation): 1-when it fell from my hands to the floor and 2-after about 45 minutes the first day I went running.
During the last 2 sessions of running no skips.
I AM SATISFIED with this product.
