Microsoft - Zune (30GB) Media Player Review

I will start this review with a little disclosure. I have always been more of a mac fan than microsoft, and I received my zune as a gift. While it is better than average for a microsoft product, it still falls short of the ipod touch. When I first got my zune, I was impressed with how easy it was to load on all my music, pics, video, etc. It does a solid job as an mp3 player. It has all the usual shuffle and playlist functions. However, unless you're going to take the time to access some of the wifi services it offers, then you should definitely buy an ipod touch. I have not actually accessed these services because I'm lazy, but if you are really into music I would check it out. The zune also just doesn't have the same accessories or applications as the ipod touch. The variety of things you can do just seems limited compared to the ipod touch. So in summary, unless you got a zune as a gift, you should go get an ipod touch.
