    "A very poor media player."

    by Dima110 on June 3, 2009

    Pros: Has FM Radio.

    Larger storage.

    Cons: Everything.

    Video playback isn't as good as the iPhone, sound quality with any other headphone is horrible, no games.

    Summary: Horrible. Get an iPod.

    Had an ipod touch. Sold it on eBay. Apple innovated but Microsoft has perfected. Compared to the Zune HD the iPod touch is heavy, clunky, and sluggish. Zune HD is very fast. Web browser is simple and gets the job done. Waiting on more Apps but it looks like a company already ported over one of their iPhone apps to the Zune HD.
    I love it, would by two if I had the money.

    Dima110 is apparently an Apple fanboy because the Zune HD wasn't available in June when he wrote this review. It went on sale in September, so he didn't have one to review in June. Why does CNET accept reviews before a product is on the market? Why would Dima110 badmouth a product that he hasn't used? Maybe he works at Apple? Draw your own conclusions.

    FYI, I own an 8 GB Zune, and love it. Video Playback is not intended to be comparable to the iphone, but is better than the classic or nano. The sound quality, even without an EQ is excellent, as consistantly rated by cnet. It is also loaded with features such as a wireless music store, games, radio, and music sharing.
