I Pod ? MP4 ? No its Microsofts new Zune!!(30gb)

*My freind told me about zune, I didnt belive him untill I searched about it myselfon the internet .


*its the next big competion to the ipod . and I think it will aout beat it easilly. The Zune, s basic model is of 30gb . you must be thinking I pods that u could also get an ipod of the same space but . You dont realize that whats the diffrence . an I pod video of 30gp will be around Rs16000  in the market these days . but Zune id merely 6000-8000! You dont belive your eyes?! The same went for me .


The stylish look made me fall in love with it  . and a screen double the size of an ipod nano! The next best thing is that it has wi fi . which can be used to transfer music . data . NOT LIKE THE OLD IPOD WHICH YOU CAN OLNLY TRANSFER FROM THE COMPUTER.  So the next time you like a song you dont have to dowload it from the internet just take it from your freind!


The good: The Microsoft Zune has very good playback performance of audio, video, and photos; intuitive and colorful interface; good FM radio with RDS; works well with Zune Marketplace software; integrated wireless allows sharing of songs(limited) and photos; many accessories available at launch.


The bad: The Microsoft Zune is not backward compatible with WMA-DRM9; weak native video support(cannot play protected content) and no video offerings from Zune Marketplace; cannot be used as a hard drive(and no UMS support); proprietary USB; cannot use Wi-Fi to sync, stream, or purchase content; minimal bundled accessories; no podcast directory; maximum capacity is 30GB.


The bottom line: The Microsoft Zune, with its intuitive interface and solid playback performance, will please most users. But lukewarm format support and the cool but limited Wi-Fi capability will have advanced users seeking more. The Zune is a very good start, though.
