Much better than their last attempt, but too little too late? I mean what does it offer that the iPod touch doesn't?
- Quality Microsoft software under the hood?TheBlueOne
- Probably something stupid like decent sound quality.moth
- and access to the "Marketplac"?fiesta
- HD content...the one thing that disappointed me about the new iphone. Not that there would be enough space to store itrusty_ace
- moth is the biggest PC fanboy I have ever seen on the netfiesta

i don't think the industrial design was done in house. I am pretty sure Astro Studios in SF did this.
- they did the xbox 360 toouberdesigner
- not good...on both counts.Brainiac
- 360 looks fucking horriblefiesta

No camera? Fail.

I have nothing to add that hasn't already been said except, none of the icons line up...
Oh, and 'marketplace' doesn't fit on the screen. How the fuck did they miss that one?
Actually I'm not liking the sub headings in the smaller font. Not all of the menu items have them and they're just unnecessary.

The Zune itself isn't bad, but the software for the last Zune, ie to manage and add your songs, was one of the most unbelievably horrible pieces of crap in terms of usability etc. released by a major company. I'm amazed it slipped through quality control.

I still don't understand the point of shouting about HD on a screen so small.
Would I trust Microsoft software to be trouble free, I think not.
Apple still win by miles I'm afraid. Nice try though Microsoft.
- HDMI output. win.zarkonite
- ahh I see. That passed me by. I stand corrected. Still not sold though I'm afraidShaneHolley

screws? no camera? horse shit ui? marketplace doesn't even fit on screen? a radio?... seriously a fucking radio? when am i supposed to listen to the radio, while i'm driving in my car listening to it's radio? will the radio pick up the local radio that i listen to while i'm out of state? one word... pandora. how stupid. the only use i can think of would be for listening to sporting events but even then you can now watch sporting events live on a number of phones.
this is crap.
- well, actually most gyms have the tv sound piped through local FM. I'm just pointing out a use for radio. Also, I like talk radio as well. Not a Zune fan but a Radio fan.CockDiesel

"Much better than their last attempt, but too little too late?"
What does that even mean? Too late for.. what? It's a slick new device, it offers a lot of features the iPod does not (it takes all of 10 seconds to Google that) and it's good competition to push Apple's products further. People act like there's only room for one product in any market.

Is 'videos' not important enough to get its own icon? It must feel a wee bit left out.
- maybe it is "music videos" but didn't fit on one line!!!janne76

The only "iPod" Kult has owned was probably a Sansa

The sad thing is not the product itself but the gazillions that will be spent on promoting this dead horse as long as other several technological dead horses that (land)fill the actual gadget's panorama.
But hey, advertising is the soul of commerce!
