What a load of...
by Kevin on Dec 10th, 2008 at 10:18 AM:
Do you guys even HAVE a calendar in your office - rating a piece of technology that came out in 2006 in your "Top 10 Most Overhyped Tech Products" for THIS year is just pathetic!
Not only are there numerous models now (including 4,8, and 16GB models that are SMALLER than an iPod Chromatic - and a 80/120GB model that has also slimmed down) - but things have also improved on the software/firmware side of things.
The software is nowhere as ugly as it used to be - and is about 10x easier to use than iTunes. Being able to sync up wirelessly (or through WiFi) is great - and the addition of things such as games is just gravy!
IF this was 2006 - I would FULLY agree with your review (and the spot on the list). But it's almost 2008 - and those of us who are NOT Apple "Fanboys" would rather have a better player for CHEAPER!
The "iPod Killer" has yet to truly arrive - but this will take a HUGE chunk out of the marketplace, and give us something than the SAME boring player that EVERYONE else has ;);)
Way better than my Ipod

First off this must be an old review because half of what is mentioned isn't true. My 50g Zune is just slightly, slightly bigger than previous 27g iPod. The video quality is way better. The earphones are probably the greatest earphone I ever had. The Wifi and social networks are really cool, but would be better if a lot more people had them. It has all the same features as an iPod and then some, plus they have better video quality, audio quality and a better warranty. The only thing iPod has over it is iTunes which I never used anyways.
Uhm Ok?

I bought a Zune 4gb yesterday and was pleasantly surprised after I worked my way around the software maze. I used it the same day and worked great. I downloaded a bunch of music and at the end of the day I powered it off. The next morning, NOTHING! No power, Nada! OK? Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed in this product. Now, I'm a reasonable guy and willing to give second chances in some things so I will return the product in hopes that this will be my last incident with Zune. I'm going to give it an initial rating of 1 due to those facts.
Best Music/Video Player I've Seen

I can not believe the negative reviews regarding Zunes.
It out-performs other players in terms of screen display, customisation, WIFI updateable firmware, and compatibility in terms of video transfer from readily available Microsoft Moviemaker software.
I am aware of some teething problems in software installation which is easy remedied with a system clearup which is useually down to junk files stored on a PC which conflict with Microsoft software. Microsoft can hardly be blamed for this.
There are a good range of docking stations now available with fantastic sound to more than rival ipod.
The only current downfall is the Zune "social" which seems to be limited to the USA. Hopefully this will become international if only people would give the gadget the chance it deserves and generate more demand in Europe.
Overall - better value for money. I am extremely satisfied with the product and the advanced features it offers.
