Hands on the New Zune

Last week I was able to play with one of the new Zune players, What surprised me was how awesome the 8gig model was, in addition to the new menu system. The screen although tiny was a much better experience than the small iPod’s

The Zune team has worked hard on the functionality of the new players and what excited me the most was that Podcasts are available from the main menu screen.

One thing for sure: the Zune team is to be congratulated for really making the new Zunes much more functional. Wireless synchronization is not something the iPod has and I like the idea of not being bound by wires to sync my media player.

If you have an original Zune you will be able to get the new operating system flashed onto your device. If you're a podcaster you will be able to submit your show to be listed in the Zune Marketplace.

Joe:

Zune looks nice and its new functions are great but iPod still is the best. Nothing compares to the iPod interface, usability and design, although Zune really seems like a good product. Have you seen this iPod Touch ad made by an user? http://www.weshow.com/us/p/21278/home_made_ipod_touch_ad
It shows in less than 30 seconds why Zune is good but an iPod is an iPod. Period.
