Product Rating: 4.00 star(s) Microsoft Zune

by Lisa Gade
Comments:
Compete with the iPod? You've got to be crazy. That is unless you're Microsoft, with huge OS marketplace dominance, brand awareness, development resources and money to jump into that game. Let's face it, iPod rules (in a rare turn of the tables where Appl...
Review Verdict:
We didn't expect to be at all impressed by Microsoft's first effort at an iPod competitor. Boy, were we pleasantly surprised! The device is well made (OK, that we expected), is packaged very austerely and attractively (shocker) and is superbly easy to use ...

QuickTake:

Pros: Very good sound, extremely easy to use. Large and lovely 3" display. Textured outer layer protects the device from scratches and fingerprints, and adds a bit of drop protection. Zune Marketplace and the Zune desktop software are also very easy to use, loo
Cons: The Zune Marketplace has 2 million tunes vs. iTunes' 3.5 million. The player is larger and heavier than the iPod 5G. The large and luscious screen and no video store in the Marketplace makes me weep. No audio books yet in the Marketplace. WiFi just begs f

Product Rating: 4.00 star(s) Microsoft Zune (30GB)

by James Kim, CNET.com
Comments:
The Microsoft Zune with its intuitive interface and solid playback performance will please most users. But lukewarm format support and the cool but limited Wi-Fi capability will have advanced users seeking more. The Zune is a very good start, though....

Microsoft Zune

by Eric Dahl and Robin Morris
Comments:
The timing of the Zune's appearance in the UK remains shrouded in mystery. Are European consumers missing out on a gadget that's, well, unmissable? Not exactly....
Review Verdict:
When it comes out in the UK, the Zune may well make a solid addition to the MP3 player market. It's a nice-looking (if slightly bulky) player offering decent audio quality. However, its features (particularly the Wi-Fi) don't go as deep as they might. If ...

QuickTake:

Pros: Bright screen great for movies. Excellent UI. Very well built. Wi-Fi lets you share music.
Cons: Desktop software doesn't support podcasts. Online store lacks movies and TV. You need to buy blocks of credit in advance to buy music. Shared music can only be listened to three times. No PlaysForSure support.

Zune review

by Ryan Block
Comments:
Ok, we had a bit of a rough start after getting open the box and all, but we've given the Zune, and its software, sharing, wireless, etc. as good a looking over as we could hope to. We've got things we like, and things we don't; rough edges to go......
