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

Zune 80GB Media Player
Comments:
Though the old 30GB Zune didn't go over too well, Microsoft's kept at it and managed to produce an impressive pair of players in its second-generation Zunes. The $250 80GB hard-drive model I tested would make a capable alternative to an 80GB iPod Classic

8GB second-generation Microsoft Zune
Comments:
The first-generation Zune media player that Microsoft released last year was a so-so product with a few nice touches. So the question with the new, second-generation Zune is whether Microsoft is ready to surpass its competition, most notably Apple and its
Review Verdict: While Microsoft has made solid progress with the Zune, the device still isn't compellingly more attractive than its competitors. It's not out in the UK as yet, but at $149 for the 4GB version and $199 for the 8GB version, in the US it's priced identically

Microsoft Zune 80GB Media Player

Wireless synching, good sound quality, and a nice touch control finally make Microsoft's affordable player a good choice. Indeed, for some users the wireless synching will make the 80GB Zune a better bet than the iPod classic.

The latest Zune firmware lets you identify and download songs heard on the radio, but other than a capacity boost, little else has changed.
