Round 6: Upgrading the kit

Winner: The Micro Micro wins

Especially for iPod users, accessories are an important part of the portable audio experience. From remote controls and carrying cases, it is the customizable factor that often swings the game. With the iPod Mini, it ships with the usual assortment of data cables, earphones, adaptor and a snap-on case. In Asia, the Micro adds on to the list with a remote control, a stand for the Micro and a soft pouch.

Yet, there is no denying the fact that there already exists a huge pool of accessories by third party manufacturers for iPod products. Creative recognizes this and is currently producing more accessories to pair up with the Zen Micro. But with the added amount that would have to be splashed out for new stuff with the Mini, like a remote that is priced at S$68.65 (US$50.54) at the Apple shop, the Micro is still the better bargain.
