Zune

Friday, January 5th, 2007

While on Christmas vacation, Amy and I were out shopping and I wandered into a technology store and spent a few minutes playing around with one of Microsoft’s new Zune media player devices. I was actually pretty impressed; the screen was large, bright and clear, and the user interface was decent. Lately I’ve been commuting on the train, and in addition to listening to podcasts on my iPod video, I’ve also been watching some video, and I think for that purpose I’d appreciate the larger screen of a Zune. Also the Zune seems to have built-in wireless - it’s not clear to me if you can do this, but it would be cool if you could use the wireless to sync it to your computer instead of having to use a USB cable.
