Microsoft - Zune (80GB) Media Player Review

I purchased the Microsoft Zune 80 GB Black MP3 Player a year and a half ago.  I weighed the pros and cons and being that I have major issues with Apple since I have a PC, and having done some research on the Zune, I decided to buy one.  Sadly, I've been rather disappointed in my purchase.  You don't have the pinwheel like the iPod does, so you have to adjust to a directional pad that looks like one button and can be a bit sensitive.  To reset it, there's no easy button, you have to hold down one of the two side buttons and up on the directional pad.  That's a bit much to reset the device if it freezes up if you ask me.  The lack of accessories and the higher prices of what little they have are a big detractor for most, though I don't need every little special tool.  The worst part for me was how the Zune stopped functioning properly after just a few months.  Though it was under warranty and the process for submitting it for repair is rather quick, I was sent a refurbished unit which continues to have some similar problems, primarily with freezing up on some files and not finding them.  Much as I may be skeptical to buy an iPod or other MP3 player, you might be better off doing so.  The only upside is you can share music, videos, or pictures wirelessly, but only with other Zunes, which can be rather difficult to find too.
