lol.... wifi my ***... thats ****en worthless if you can only use it with other people with the same thing and since you can only listen to a song 3 times from someone else thats dumb too... and the fact that you have to restart your library all over again blows ***** hard core.. what a piece of ****........

they should have put blue tooth on it so you can upload the songs onto it wirelessly and also you can transfer images from cell to zune and from zune to cell.... now that would be good....

and if anyone wants to take on apple in mp3 players... they need to go touch screen ftw.... no buttons... just a screen..... now that would be sick.... and they have to make it easy for ipod users to convert over... so that means it should be itunes compatible or if not there should be a simple way of transfering all the songs to the zune from your ipod.... the easier you make it the better chance someone will decide to buy the zune instead of a new ipod....

also if the zune had bluetooth you could use it with your bluetooth head set..... and for those with bluetooth car stereos... that could benifit them there too..

... think about it

the zune is a piece of crap regardless...
1. its drm properties are ghey (you cant use itunes or napster purchased music, last I looked napster was integrated into media player but I guess that changed in the new version? ghey).
2. That sorry excuse for "wifi" u have to pay for songs u get from other non-existent zune users? WTF IS UP WITH THAT???
3. Its HUGE, its like a brick with a screen
4. Its nodoubt only pc friendly which means mac users arent gonna buy it and with more people using macs these days why limit your market further?
5. Its Microsoft!

I wonder how much Apple paid for them to shoot it down like that, and then on top of that show the new shuffle on the same segment! it was funny. good post.

I dont think apple paid anybody since every review is pretty much been the same...its an inferior product and microsoft has left a bad taste in many company's mouths since many online music stores adopted microsofts "play for sure" data rights management format and now this MS Zune doesnt even support those DRM parameters.

Still, if I wouldnt mind one in brown...looks nice
