Microsoft Zune 80 To Be Offered in Red, Maybe Not Product (RED)

by Michael Kwan

Comments:
Not to be confused with that whole Product (RED) thing, there will reportedly be a red version of the Microsoft Zune 80 available to the masses in time for Valentine's Day...

Review Verdict: Not to be confused with that whole Product (RED) thing, there will reportedly be a red version of the Microsoft Zune 80 available to the masses in time for Valentine's Day. This follows in the same line of marketing thought as the trio from AT&T, which do

Microsoft Zune 8GB Red Review

by Eric Dahl, PC World

Comments:
Wi-Fi and video support may be overkill for a device this size, but the 8GB Zune remains an interesting flash player option.

Review Verdict: With wireless syncing, FM radio, and full video support, the 8GB Zune has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, unless you really want wireless syncing, it's not the best choice. If you're looking for lots of storage, the Sansa View has the Zune beat. If you

Microsoft Zune 8GB Red MP3 Player

by Eric Dahl

Comments:
Is full wireless syncing support appropriate for a flash-based player? Microsoft's $199 8GB Zune certainly ships with a raft of features, but unless you need a light player with wireless functions, you'll probably be able to find better values elsewhere.

Microsoft Zune 16GB (third generation, 16GB, pink) review

by Donald Bell

Comments:

Review Verdict: The smaller, flash-based Zune, with a unique focus on music discovery, is a fierce competitor to the iPod Nano.

QuickTake:

Pros: The Microsoft Zune MP3 player has expanded the usefulness of its Wi-Fi and social music-discovery features, added support for games and audiobooks, and maintained enviable features, such as a glass-covered LCD, friendly interface, exceptional navigation c

Cons: Battery life isn't great ; the glossy plastic front is more prone to scratches and smudges ; and using many of the new features without a Zune Pass music subscription can be disappointing ;

Microsoft Zune 16GB

by Tim Gideon

Comments:
Calling the Zune 16GB a new product is a bit of a stretch. With no real hardware changes, and the ability to load the new software onto any of the older models, we're basically looking at the same old player with a paint job, a capacity upgrade, and price

QuickTake:

Pros: Touchpad is still excellent. Improved user interface is less jumpy. Wirelessly syncs to your PC. You can buy music wirelessly and purchase tunes you hear on the radio. Unlimited radio presets.

Cons: Requires the $14.99 monthly Zune Pass or pre-purchased MS Points to download music straight to the player over Wi-Fi. No change in design, display size, or screen resolution from older models.
