The editors didn't like
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.

Abstract: Microsoft recently released the Zune16 (a flash drive-based media player) and Zune120 (a larger, hard drive-based player). The newest DAPs (digital audio players) from Microsoft offer more storage space (16GB and 120GB, respectively) than previous vers...
Abstract: Microsoft ZuneESRB: n/a Platform: Media & Storage Devices Category: MiscellaneousAuthor: Murray G Zune Zune Zune (80 GB version)Sometimes first impressions are wrong. When I first received Microsoft’s Zune for review I have to admit that I looked at...
Wireless sync, sharing, and purchase, Excellent music discovery features, Attractive interface, Vivid screen
Mediocre battery life, Dumb points-based payment system for à la carte downloads, Video content selection still lags behind iTunes

Abstract: REVIEW The new flash-based 16GB Zune ($199.99 direct) will look familiar: Its dimensions, screen size and resolution, and controls are identical to those of its 4GB and 8GB predecessors. You get a few new features, but they all stem from the Zune Mar...

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 navigatio...
Battery life isnt 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.
The smaller, flash-based Zune, with a unique focus on music discovery, is a fierce competitor to the iPod Nano. See all products in the Microsoft Zune third generation flash series
