The Zen Micro by Creative Labs is arguably the best looking iPod clone on the market.
Introduction
Apple's iPod is truly a testament to the power of good engineering. What started out as a new design approach to a relatively old idea, the iPod has turned into a phenomenon unlike anything the tech world has seen in recent years. Who would have guessed that a portable audio player from a computer company would set a new standard for others to follow.

The Zen Micro by Creative Labs is arguably the best looking iPod clone on the market.
