Why the Zune is a great music player
The Microsoft Zune is a shot across iPod’s bow. By tightly integrating the Zune device with the Zune online store, Microsoft has made a digital audio players that is nearly as easy to use as the iPod. It has even added some innovative features, like the ability to share songs and pictures with other Zune users via WiFi. Nonetheless, when compared to the iPod/iTunes combination, the Zune just doesn’t have the refinement, diverse media offerings, or peripheral support that make the former such a dominant force in the digital music industry. Zune review says the Zune is offered in three colors—white, black, and brown—the Zune is not nearly as shiny as an iPod. Translucent plastic covers the device itself, which diffuses the color a bit. It also has a subtle texture that feels good in the hand. This is a nice feature and means you cannot scratch the paint though you could conceivably scratch the plastic.While it’s no iPod killer, it’s a great little music player in it’s own right.
