80GB Zune Black

Pros: Screen, controls, wireless connection

Cons: Price

The Bottom Line: A quantum leap from the last Zune, and possibly something finally able to give the venerable iPod a run for it's money.

Review: A few years back Microsoft tried its hand in the portable music player market. Much like many of their other products, it was supposed to have a lot of different features but none of them really worked that well. This was in stark contrast to Apple...

Pros: Good MP3 player. I love the Zune service

Cons: Terrible customer service. It's not the most durable MP3 player.

The Bottom Line: I like it. I dislike it. It's alright. Good sound quality. Poor durability. 3 stars! Oh dear, do I recommend this? I wish there was an 'I dunno' button.

Review: If anyone is qualified to talk about the Microsoft Zune, it is me. Not because I'm some audiophile. Not because I know all the technical aspects of it. Simply because I've had to endure hours and hours of time on the phone with people who know...

Pros: Smooth interface, 80GB HDD, Screen, Zune market place,

Cons: When is Zune Market place going to get TV and Movie Downloads?

The Bottom Line: You will not find a better MP3 player out there whether it be an Ipod or a different type. Zune is the way of the future!

Review: Click for the full in-depth review! While the Apple Ipod has enjoyed the lions share of the MP3 player market, Apple better watch their backs. Microsoft has introduced a new product 2nd generation Zune MP3 player that will give it a run for its...

Pros: Big shiny screen...FM radio...extreme capacity

Cons: Well...we'll get to it in the review

The Bottom Line: Even if you have an Ipod, at least give it a whirl.

Review: Got this today at my local CC. My very first thoughts upon opening - nice, neat, tidy packaging, but not too many extras. The one thing that really irked me is the lack of an AC adapter - it only comes with the USB data/power cable. An extra $19.95...

Pros: Sound Quality, Ease of Navigation, Biggest Screen on a PMP

Cons: Lack of accessories at brick and mortar stores

The Bottom Line: Recommended for anyone with large audio/video collections. This player may even convert a few iPod users. Sound quality and ease of use are excellent, plus an FM radio!

Review: All of my music is ripped to the .wma format so an iPod wouldn t work for me. Being a self professed music nut, I find the .wma file format sounds better than .mp3 files at comparable bit rates. The .wma format seems to hold the bottom end better,...

Pros: Big screen, slim/sleek, easy menus, cheap, sturdy, sound, wifi-sharing

Cons: Software, proprietary, lack of simple features, video support

The Bottom Line: Microsoft has the perfect backbone, but they took out too many features and made it too proprietary

Review: When my Creative Zen Vision M died, I wanted something to improve upon what I used to have. After searching around, the Zune caught my eye. It was a great looking player, it's thin, and cheap for how much space it has. So I managed to get one...

Pros: Wifi Sharing Interface Large Screen Stylish Radio

Cons: Headphones Software No games yet.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this item to any and everyone who was in search of a new mp3 player. The ZUNE is near perfect...near.

Review: I have been an avid iPod user since nearly day one of their existence and up until recently though they would all ways be number 1. But after receiving my ZUNE 80 for Xmas I have to say I am far more than impressed. The thing is nearly perfect. All...

Pros: Nice Screen Nice Body Good Sound

Cons: Software blows Awful packaged in headphones And Softare again

The Bottom Line: If you're tired of Apple and want something new, this is the way to go.

Review: Pros:

1) The Zune has a beautiful screen that provides lush bright colors.

2) The body of the Zune is pretty sleek and sexy.

3) The touch controls work almost flawlessly.

4) The ability to share music with...

Pros: Price, Screen size, built in radio, and sound quality.

Cons: Outside casing, screen dirties easily.

The Bottom Line: Based on price, options and a decent battery life, the Zune is a best buy for anyone looking to listen, watch and play media on the go.

Review: So you need something to get you through boring bus rides, and long waits at the doctor's office. Well this is it. Microsoft has done something right...again! (Xbox).

The Zune is easy to operate, using a familiar touch pad similar to the...

Pros: Design, feel, screen size, wireless function, simplicity, online and physical marriage

Cons: Wireless limitations, content organization controls within the device

The Bottom Line: If you like its design and want/need a spacious music player, there's no reason you shouldn't buy the Zune, and there's plenty to love to support why you should.

Review: I can t help but be inclined to review the Microsoft Zune with a semi-nostalgic and appreciative recollection of the possibilities of moving media in the past, and an idea of what constitutes the ideal end state for a digital media device in the...
