The PMP market is a nasty place to be, and we're surprised and pleased that Microsoft hasn't given up yet. Apple obviously owns the market every bit as much as Microsoft owns the computer OS market and it's no easy task to change that dynamic...
Abstract: But what did he see in the clear stream below? His own image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan. —The Ugly Duckling It’s been a long, brown trip for the Zune: from its early days (mocked a...

Abstract: Microsoft’s first Zune attempts won it a few dedicated users but a whole lot of criticism. In the face of Apple’s all-conquering iPod touch there was only really one way to go, and that was touchscreen; the Zune HD marks not only the transition to bein...

Gorgeous new UI, Responsive touchscreen, Zune Pass
Limited beyond music and video playback, Unclear roadmap for applications, No Mac compatibility
Perhaps the most compelling reason to buy a Zune HD right now isn't the gorgeous screen or forthcoming apps, HD radio, or slick design. Make no mistake about it -- this is a fine, fine device, and no one would fault you for buying one -- but it's not the ...
Abstract: After admiring the Zune HDs slim good looks, now weve installed its software and taken it for a spin. We loaded the $290 32GB media player with music, videos, pictures and podcasts, tested out its user interface along with the Zune 4.0 software, and ...

Abstract: Video Review: Move over, Apple because Microsoft releases their new Zune HD today. Fortunately for us, Chris Hardwick and Kevin Pereira review the new media player with its 3.3" multi-touch OLED screen, 720p HD video out and Wi-Fi connectivity, all for...
