Zune: The Latest Cool Gadget
Summary
Imagine a production meeting where two Apple iPods?"one for music, the other for music and videos?"are on the table. What if their features were combined with elements of a Palm Pilot, a cell phone, and a laptop? "That's a great idea! When could it be ready?" "Soon." "Did you say Zoon?" "No, but that's a great name. Let's call it the Zune!" And so, the Zune was born, arriving this Christmas at electronics stores near you.The Zune Unveiled
Initially, I was skeptical about the Zune. Why replicate an already popular product like the iPod? But the Zune introduces features that make it stand out as a next-level gadget. Here’s what makes it impressive.
Larger Display and WiFi
The Zune boasts a 3-inch video display, 44% larger than the iPod’s screen, with a 640x480 resolution?"bigger than Dick Tracy's watch and larger than most phone screens. It also includes 802.11 WiFi, which enables data transfer (pictures and music, not video) between Zune devices and supports netcasting to share content across your wireless network.
Versatile Media Support
Supporting seven media formats including H.264, MP3, WMA, WMV, MPEG4, JPEG, and AAC, the Zune is more versatile than the iPod. It even comes preloaded with several audio and video files.
Xbox Integration
The Zune syncs with the Xbox 360, allowing users to create social networks and connect with friends over Xbox Live.
A Small Limitation
My main gripe with Microsoft is their restriction on the number of times you can play a song downloaded from another device?"either three days or three plays. For $79, you can download millions of songs, or opt for the $14.95 monthly Zune Pass subscription. It’s unclear what happens to your downloads if the subscription lapses; stay tuned for updates on that front.
Final Thoughts
Despite this limitation, the Zune is an exciting device with many potential add-ons. Its versatility and features suggest it will remain popular for a long time, and at $249.99, it's well-priced. This Christmas, expect them to fly off the shelves.
