To Zune or Not To Zune
By vishaal_lalchand onSo let's start off with all the basics The Zune is an INCREDIBLE device. The quality is amazing and in my opnions much better than any Apple Device. Audio Quality and Video quality were amazing. Microsoft has integrated the widescreen in order to let viewers watch their videos sideways. However what good is that if you cannot get the videos on the device. I must say i was a tad bit dissapointed with the software. The itunes interface was so simple and user-friendly. Don't get me wrong the software is not horrible, it simple lags a little when adding larger video files such as 2 hour movies. The one unique i did like about this compared to the Ipod was that it is very easy to turn off the automatic sync feature. I mean really who wants all their videos on their media device. Another minor let down wsa the battery Life. It is pretty decent and can get a good 6-7 hours of video, however that is only with the display set to minimum brightness. do you really want to strain your eyes just to get more battery life. Last but not least the Extra Features on the zune are AMAZING. Microsoft has just immagrated a new games feature on the device, and it is great. They are smooth and fun and pretty soon this device will also become a handheld gaming console. That being said WHERE ARE THE GAMES MICROSOFT? so far microsoft has only released 2 games a very fun Texas Hold'em and a less fun game with a Bejewled concept. Also the wireless music transfer is one of a kind. It is smooth and user friendly, but really if your gonna wirelessly send music to someone like 5 feet in front of you wouldn't it be easier just to take your device to them and tell them to listen to a song. That being said my overall rating out of 100 would be a 95. IT is in my opinion the best device on the market today, i just wish microsoft would have stepped it up a little more
