More on Zune…

It’s been a while since i last talked about Microsoft’s Zune, wanted to wait until there’s enough fresh meat to share, rather than just spreading tidbits here and there:
Zune Features, Specifications and details

    -Zune’s Battery Life: 13 Hours of audio playback, 4 for video. Quite simillar to the 30GB iPod, not impressive at all.

    -2old2play.com are some lucky webmasters to get a hands-on oppurtunity with Zune, here’s what they think:

All in all, any reservations I had about the device melted away after I had a few moments with the Zune. Yes, it is a first-generation product but I really like the direction Microsoft is taking with the Zune. Regardless of either the Zune or the iPod, the consumer will be the winner of this new front in the battle for our entertainment lifestyle.
