Hmmm . . . I guess maybe it IS a "slight" upgrade after all.

I tend to prefer the Clip+'s keypad layout to that on the Zip too, but to each his own. The Zip's color screen does indeed suck long & hard though.

The screen isn't bad with the theme I use most of the time....it looks remarkably like the Clip+ then.
