Come join the squircle
It's not quite as fancy as the iPod Touch but it's got a much better price. For the same cost as the 80gb iPod Classic, it's the indisputable winner. Do yourself a favor, as I did: try out the iPod Classic and the Zune.
The Zune has a screen that lies size-wise between the iPod Classic and Touch. Best of all- it's a beautiful scratch-resistant glass screen. The video and images are stunning.
I thought the iPod had a cool interface with the touch-sensitive circle. Well, Zu...

fantastic hardware, horrid software
This review is from: Zune 80 GB Digital Media Player (Red) (Electronics) Over 400 reviews already written here so I will try to keep my brief. I am a web developer so I am fairly good with computers, software and gadgets... just keep that in mind. Here is my take on the Zune:
PROS:
1. beautiful - very slim and sexy piece of equipment and the red is a nice touch.
2. good headphones - these are ear in semi noise-cancelling headphones. They do their job...

Pleasant Surprise - goodbye iPod
There is no such thing as a perfect digital player - they ALL have some shortcomings. That being written, I am pleasantly surprised by the Zune 80 gb player. I have owned hard-drive based MP3 players since 2003 when I bought my first one. I was recently using the 5G 60gb iPod and it needed replacing so I start researching players again. After a great deal of research, I bought the Zune but didn't open it right away. I waited a few days. That was a mistake. For a few days, I just used the ...

Worth the wait - Absolutely amazing
I almost settled for an alternative since these were so scarce, but am glad I waited.
This is a must-have if you've got a child and you want their cartoons/movies available at home, in the car, and on a plane. We previously used a portable DVD player, but dealing with discs was a pain (scratches, changing, etc). Now that we have all the kiddie movies and music on the Zune, all we need is this one device. The HomeAV pack works great at the house when we want to display it on the lar...

Sold the Zen for the Zune...was it worth it??
I had the Zen Vision: M for quite some time and was very happy with it. It did everything I needed it to do so I had never really thought about upgrading. Then I started putting movies on it and quickly found out that more storage capacity would be a good thing (my Zen was the 30gb). I tried everywhere to get one of these things, even signed up for notifications when they became available online via email alerts; I could never login fast enough to snag one. Then one day on a whim, I walked i...

Better than I thought it would be
I have been an ipod owner for many years. I always had a good experience with them, but when it was time to get a new player none of their offerings really matched what I was looking for. Yes, the itouch is beautiful, but 16gb for that price ... not gonna do it.
When I saw the second generation Zune was coming out, I checked out the specifications and decided it was time to "switch".
What I like:
1. Solid engineering; it is heavier than an ipod and a little bit bigger,...

Great media player
I got this device yesterday and I haven't been able to keep my hands off it. I was one of many people who made fun of the v1 zune but this device is a huge improvement.
The interface of the desktop software is very clean and easy to navigate. The software on the zune works really well. The Zune pad is a big surprise. I wasn't so sure when I saw pictures of it but this touch sensitive pad is great. It makes navigating your media very effortless.
Setting up and using wireless...

LOVE IT!
It was crazy hard to get my hands on one of these, but luckily Circuit City still had one available for a local pick up. I've been using it for almost 3 days now and I can say that it is far, far better than my 60gb video ipod.
It has everything I ever wanted and then some- great big display (although the video could be a bit brighter), great interface, light & sleek, no annoying DRM, customized background with a backlight dimmer (so you won't go blind in the middle of the night when...

80 GB ZUNE wins against 80 GB iPod
I purchased this Zune last weekend and I am currently very happy about it. I returned the iPod that I purchased a week ago and I was a lucky one to find the Zune for exchange.
First, Why did I return the iPod? I had problems with the iPod while watching video Podcasts. It was freezing,resetting, etc. After a massive research in Apple's discussion boards, I realized that the 2nd generation iPod has many more freezing problems. It deletes people's libraries, keeps on freezing till the ...
