Microsoft Zune Black (30 GB) MP3 Player

Review: I am sorry to sound so negative, i try to be brand loyal and after my experience with XBOX I figured the Zune would be a safe bet. after figuring out the video software and Microsoft's point system it worked great for about 4 months and then as I...

The Bottom Line: Though a latecomer to the DigitalAudio market, Zune's Wifi sharing, screen size and radio make it the better choice for that same $250 you'd spend on Ipod 30GB.

Review: I promised myself I would never buy an Ipod.

Years ago, I worked at Best Buy while I was still in college and was shocked at how much money people were willing to pay for Ipods considering their high return rate. The major problem? If you...

The Bottom Line: Good sound and video quality with elegant menu display. Zune is thicker than iPod Video, but battery life is awesome! Solid effort by Microsoft.

Review: As an iPod user for the last few years, I've been waiting for the new version of the iPod to be released so I could upgrade. When I found out that Apple simply took the iPhone, removed the phone capability, and then called it the iPod touch, I was...

Review: The Zune has a slick interface, nice sound, decent video quality, can interact with other Zunes, receives FM and more. However, there are a few problems I have found.
One, on the video side, it only plays .wmv format. It will not even read that...

The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend the Microsoft Zune for it's portability, high storage capacity, quality video screen, excellent sound quality and overall value.

Review: Several months ago, I signed up at club.live.com. Club Live is an on-line search club that has interesting brain games that offer tickets as points for winning games. I like the crossword puzzles, which give 25 tickets per win. 800 games later, I...

The Bottom Line: With 30gigs of storage and an impressive screen you really can't go wrong with the Microsoft Zune.

Review: First Impressions:

The Microsoft Zune comes in an attractive box and artistically designed box. In addition to the Zune there are also headphones, sync cable, carrying case, manuals and software. I was very impressed by the quality of the...

The Bottom Line: I recommend to anyone, any age, to buy the new Microsoft Zune. Its lightweight, high capacity, looks great, and is very fun.

Review: I always have liked Microsoft company for their electronic products more than the Apple company for theirs. I should have realized that it was only a matter of time before what seemed to be unbeatable would be overtaken. Now the only thing that I...

The Bottom Line: I'd recommend it to anyone. You get a great media player and an awesome subscription plan. And, overall, you get it for less than the competition.

Review: I know the Zune gets a lot of negative reviews, for whatever reason. Of course, well all know that it is not necessarily getting those reviews for what it is, but for what it ISN'T. Which is to say, it isn't an iPod. I don't want to step on any toes...

Review: After 3 months of use my ZUNE's screen no longer functioned. It would not show what menus I was on and looked like it had been shattered by something. I put it on charge and went to bed to find this problem when I awoke. Microsoft won't stand by it...

The Bottom Line: If you were looking for an analog to iTunes, you got it with the Zune. If you were looking for something more advanced, look elsewhere.

Review: Proof that Marketing is the Key

It's true - marketing is key. If it wasn't for in-your-face marketing, the Zune would have never been considered as a serious contender to the iPod.
