Round 5: Lasting the Distance

Winner:
The Micro


Micro wins

In our opinion and through reader feedbacks in our online poll, battery life is an important consideration for most potential buyers. In this respect, the Zen Micro trounces the iPod Mini by managing to last 12 hours and 47 minutes as compared to the latter's 9 hours and 6 minutes. Add on to the fact that the Micro has a user-replaceable battery and we have a no brainer.
