Finally, the Creative Zen Micro Photo is gonna for real! It is expected to hit store in the end of September or early of October. It seems that Creative has made some changes on it. But what are they?

• It has more capacity now! Not just 5GB or 6GB but 8GB!
• It is cheaper than the priced announced before, US$249.
• Lower power consumption, up to 15 hours of playback rather than 12 hours.

Other features will be same as the regular Zen Micro:

• Same size (3.3 x 0.7 x 2 inches) and weight (3.8 ounces)
• User-replaceable battery
• FM radio to listen to and record
• Built-in voice recorder
• Available in 10 electrifying colors

It’s a long wait since it was first introduced in CES 2005 this january. It probably gives some impacts to Apple to make changes on its iPod mini.
