  • After spending several months with an iPod and a Zune, one thing has become clear: the Zune is not an iPod killer. Sure, its a decent personal media player, but its not going to convert the masses away from the iPod. At least not yet. That doesnt ne...

  • Large, bright screen, Attractive and responsive interface
  • WiFi connectivity is extremely limited, Lacks Plays For Sure compatibility
  • This portable music and video player boasts a sharp-looking screen and a beautiful interface, but its extras wont sway iPod owners.

  • Abstract:  Introduction Microsoft advertises the Zune with the catchphrase "Welcome to the Social." So what is "The Social?" Judging by televised Zune commercials, it appears to be quite the party. Commercials often depict snowboarders riding on chairlifts or kid...

  • Large, scratch resistant color screen, Good sound quality, Intuitive interface, Includes FM radio and video playback, Im down with brown, baby
  • Ridiculous Zune Marketplace points system, PlaysForSure doesnt PlayAtAll, Mediocre battery life, A bit heavy and clunky (compared to youknowwhos player)
  • Ill get straight to it! Should you buy a Zune? Well of course that decision will have to be based on several factors. I will approach this from 3 different scenarios. First, Ill start with myself, naturally. Im the sort of MP3 user that will rarely,...

  • Abstract:  If you still want to buy a Zune after reading our review, you’d better not count on filling it with music from Microsoft’s Zune Marketplace. While our view of the 30GB player is a matter of opinion, the tiny inventory of music that Microsoft has on tap...

  • Abstract:  The Microsoft Zune is an excellent piece of playback hardware and appears to be physically well built. If youre just getting into online, portable media stuff now, you can purchase a ZunePass for fifteen bucks a month and play to your hearts content....

  • Abstract:  Microsofts Zune has been the talk of the town since its release during last years holiday season yet the context of the "talking" has been both good and bad. Weve read mixed reviews with some loving the Zune and some hating it. Understandably this...

  • Attractive packaging Competitive price Large display
  • Boring aesthetics Poor quality ear buds Closed system Not compatible with PlaysForSure songs Credit purchasing system is a joke
  • The Microsoft Zune is one of those products that you will want to avoid at all costs; at least this first generation. In comparison to other media players on the market, the Zune offers no clear advantage. It has an audio and video library with less de...

  • Abstract:  It lives in a smaller universe with fewer songs and videos, but Microsofts digital music player has a few tricks up its sleeve

  • Great industrial design; large bright screen; built-in Wi-Fi;, excellent navigation and UI;, nice FM radio.
  • Limited codec support on device and player software; no podcast support; no TV or movie service; no Vista support.
  • An almost-great product that seems rushed to market before it could add some crucial software features. Not the portable to own right now, but keep your eye on the software updates. ...
