Best screen that's ever shipped on a portable media player. Sync software has excellent music discovery features. Zune Pass subscription lets you download as many tunes as you want. Industrial design finally approaches the lustworthy quality of an Apple p
Several years behind Apple when it comes to interface and app store. Music library still has some holes. No Macintosh software. Web browser is competent, but takes a while to render some pages. Onscreen keyboard for browser is horrid
Beautiful OLED display, Long battery life, HD radio & wireless syncing, Very clean and easytouse interface
Zune 4.0 software is not user friendly, Somewhat limited audio & picture file support, App Store in the Marketplace is practically empty, Expensive dock required for HD video output
Gorgeous multi-touch OLED screen. Intuitive user interface with sharp, good-looking graphics. Strong Web browser. Wireless music purchasing, downloading, and syncing. HD radio.
Limited audio codec support. HD files are displayed in standard-def on the player—an optional dock is needed to view HD files on an HDTV or a PC. Very slim pickings in the App section of the Zune Marketplace.
With a fantastic OLED touch screen, a top-notch Web browser, and a wireless music store, the Zune HD is the best PMP you can buy—that is, if you live outside the iTunes universe....

The Zune HDs brilliant OLED display, HD Radio tuner, long battery life, movie rentals, and subscription music integration finally give iPod expatriates something to shout about.
You still cant use the Zune with a Mac, Marketplace purchases require "Microsoft Points," video format support is limited, audio quality lacks advanced controls, youll need to purchase a dock accessory for HD video output, application and game select...
The Zune HD delivers one of the best portable music and video experiences money can buy. At a time when many people have shifted their focus to games and applications, providing a killer media experience may not be enough for potential Zune buyers.
Abstract: The big question: Can the Zune HD compete with the iPod Touch? I get the sense that Microsoft isn't trying to, exactly. While the Touch and its apps are a multi use pocket computer, the Zune HD is an evolution of the PMP—not a devolution of some...

The Zune HD is a great little device. As a Personal Media Player it is hands down the best one I have used. The audio and video quality is amazing. Where it all breaks down is in the desktop software, not the actual software as that is well done, b...
Abstract: The is the Zune that I wish Microsoft had released . I found a lot to like about the Zune HD and the Zune 4.0 software. The device marks a huge improvement from last year’s model in speed, usability, video quality, and design, while the Zune 4.0 softwa...
Abstract: Microsofts Zune player has gotten steadily better since it was first released in 2006. Its latest effort, the Zune HD, gets several things right, including video and music playback. Still, theres still plenty of room for improvement. The Zune HD (not...
