  • Very good playback performance of audio, video, and photos; intuitive and colorful interface; FM radio with RDS; works well with Zune Marketplace software; integrated wireless song and photo sharing; many accessories available at launch.
  • Not backward compatible with WMA-DRM9; weak native video support (cannot play protected content); cannot be used as a hard drive (and no UMS support); proprietary USB; cannot use Wi-Fi to sync, stream, or purchase content; minimal bundled accessories; no...
  • 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.
