Comments:
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.

Zune (second generation, 4GB, black) review
Comments:
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

Cons: The Zune 4 and Zune 8 players are PC-only devices that require their own software and still don't support older WMA-DRM9 music files, nor does Zune Marketplace offer TV or movie downloads. The Zune's USB connection is proprietary, there's no Wi-Fi music s

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.
