Microsoft Zune MP3 Player Interface Revealed

bain writes to tell us that iLounge has put up details on the Zune, Microsoft's MP3 player. According to the article, "Zune is a bit bigger than a standard 30GB iPod, and apparently made entirely of plastic." Interestingly, Microsoft forgoes a touch-sensitive scrollwheel in favor of wheel-shaped buttons. Included are WiFi capabilities, an FM tuner, and (in stark contrast to the iPod) a white-on-black color scheme. The 30GB model is expected to sell for $300.

There's nothing hip or cool about having some music device from a giant corporation.

You do realise what a trendy douchebag you made yourself sound like right?

Meanwhile the guy who modded you retarded was right on.

And here is where your logic falls over

If the iCrap was popular because it was "easy to get music onto" then shouldnt say creative's mp3 players be the most popular as you can just copy mp3 files directly onto it, as in you dont even have to install Craptunes.

I've said it before and for the not so bright people here, I'll say it again. With a crapPod you mostly pay for a brand and get some inferior peice of propreiety crap made by slave labour in china which costs all of AU$50 to produce.

Now I am not saying that MS is any better but it it definatly no worse.

Considering you have to pay Apple extra for the privilege of having a black device, MS might be on to something.
