The Zune is Microsoft’s attempt to clinch market share away from iPod. With the launch of the 80GB MP3 player hard-drive model, Microsoft has found a good alternative to the iPod Classic. The Zune has a neat and tidy finish and has a large 3.2-inch screen. Unlike previous version of the Zune, the Zune 120GB comes with a touch pad which makes it easy to control and operate the device. However, if you are not a fan of touch pads, you can also navigate and control the Zune using the clickable buttons.
The Zume comes with a very good set of headphones with cables made from soft fabric which makes it quite comfortable to wear. The headphones are also designed to block out external noise. The Zune also has wireless communication to aid music sharing and updating.
f you are looking for good quality video playback, the Microsoft Zune with its 3.2 inch screen is very likely to satisfy your needs. The player supports most video formats including MPEG-4, WMV and H.264. Photographic images are good too, and you can play music while viewing your photos.
With the ability to store 20,000 songs or 375 hours of videos plus a host of features including FM radio, the Microsoft Zune is a very good multi media player. I only wish Microsoft had included a search facility to locate songs.
