Zune (second generation, 4GB, black) review
QuickTake:
Pros: The flash-based 4GB and 8GB Microsoft Zune MP3 players feature a 1.8-inch glass LCD, an easy-to-use interface, exceptional navigation control, audio and video podcast support, and FM radio. It also includes wireless syncing and sharing, revamped Zune Mark

Review: Microsoft Zune 8GB
Comments:
Wireless and video support may be overkill on a device this size, but the 8GB Zune offers some interesting options as a flash player.
Review Verdict: The 8GB Zune is a little thicker than one of the last-generation iPod Nanos. That puts it on the large side for flash-based MP3 players these days. Its audio quality sounded a little better to my ears than that of the latest iPod Nano, on a par with Creat

The first flash-based Zune is a good-looking, easy-to-navigate device that can be synced with your PC wirelessly, but its small screen and jumpy interface make it second fiddle to Apple's iPod nano.

With a large screen, wireless syncing, and better features than the iPod classic, Microsoft finally gets portable digital music right.

Microsoft Zune Review
Comments:
Marketed as the "iPod Killer," the original Zune was anything but. However, the second generation Zune does stand a small chance competing with the industry leader, iPod. However, we still feel that Microsoft still has some ways to go.

Review Verdict: The 4GB and 8GB capacity Zunes (Zune 4 and Zune 8) offer a bite-size version of their full-size, 80GB sibling. While the full-size Zune is a better value, the solid-state flash memory used in the 4GB and 8GB versions make them better suited for physically
