A pretty good first attempt

Nov 29, 2006

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Large Screen, great finish, battery life
Cons: No charger shipped
Opinion:
For a first attempt, I think Microsoft is on the right track with Zune. Having been an diehard IPOD user from Gen 2 through to current, there are some immediate benefits:
1. Interface, nice and bright and inuitive. Bigger screen is certainly more pleasant to look at than IPOD video.
2. Sound is easily as good if not a little it better than IPOD although the ear buds shipped are not much chop.

4. Batter life at about 12 hours is good.

On the note so good,

Why copy IPod

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Large Screen
Cons: If you don't like IPod you would not like Zune
Opinion:
I bought it and returned it back with 15% restock cost but I'm GLADE. I replaced with Archo 604 WiFi with DVR station and I love it

Nice Tech there...Cool design,large memory enough to store many short video clips.I would want to buy it if its price was in the range of $300-$400.But overall this really is cool gadget.

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Wi-Fi, Video, Nice colours, and not an Ipod!!
Cons: Screen Quality and size. Battery, license problems.
Opinion:
Since microsoft is new in MP3s, products will come out fast. If you buy now, you will have an outdated MP3. Also, there might me many problems since its very new.
Otherwise it's awesome! Wireless will be fun. The licensing might be bad hope it won't be annoying.
