Guys, since my own date for purchasing a mp3 player is nearing, I will like others commandeer this thread and ask for recommendations:

I would like . . .

. . . The only ones I've looked at in depth are the Zen Micro and the iPod Mini, and I think I would choose the Micro of the two, but I still am uncertain.

I agree that you should get a flash player. They are much better for jogging. This one looks pretty nice:

Not all battery experts agree with "Battery University".

IBM, for example, says otherwise of the Li-Ion batteries it designs and uses with its devices...

Damn it... Can't find reliable info on the Net. Now I'll have to figure out who's right.

I've also heard you were right, nostromo, FWIW

Btw, the Sony I linked to is the same rating as the bottom 4 on that list.

I was at CompUSA today and played around with some of the MP3 players there, including the Zen Micro, iPod, and the Sony Network Walkman.

The competition has, IMO, not come close to matching the ease of use offered by the iPod wheel. The Micro had a decent interface, but it was much less "smooth" when compared to the iPod. Couldn't compare sound or any other feature than this.

I agree. If Apple hadn't copyrighted the click-wheel, a lot of competitors would sport one.
