Abstract: Let’s just admit it: For a long time it was embarrassing to be a Microsoft Zune owner. While all of your buddies where showing off their flashy iPod touches and iPhones that they could control at the swipe of a finger, you were covertly lugging around ...
Abstract: The saying goes “When Microsoft wants something, it always wins”. The Zune 120 is a realization of this quest. In this review, we take a close look at the Zune from a technical and business point of view. The Zune could be in its third generation but i...
Abstract: Let me open right away and warn hardcore geeks to stop reading. Yeah - I know the Microsoft Zune has been out for some time, and yes - I know there is another player out there that seems to be getting most of the attention. But for the benefit of our r...
The Zune's large hard drive, top-notch FM tuner and large display offers a great value for the money. At around $250 the Zune competes with Apple's iPod classic but offers a larger screen and additional features. The Zune's playback capabilities are we...

Podcast integration is very well done, Menu navigation is easier to read, Innovative Zune Pad controls, Great premium headphones, Tight integration with Zune Marketplace
Red Zune 4GB/8GB is a fingerprint magnet, Zune 80GB has a large display, but only QVGA resolution, Severely limited Wi-Fi functionality, Zune Marketplace software can be a little buggy, Feels one generation behind
Excellent Podcast Integration Perhaps the greatest advantage that the Microsoft Zune will have over other iPod competitors is its tight integration with both audio and video podcasts. Right from the Zune software that you use to sync your device, you ...
It’s a great mediaplayer that I will continue to use for a long time. It have even replaced my Zune 80GB as my day to day mediaplayer. For the money you pay you get alot of value for the buck. Go out and buy one you won’t regret it:-)...
