"happy but disappointed..?"
Pros: great interface, big screen, wifi potential
Cons: no podcasting, no video transfer, poor video support
Summary: i purchased this item and am happy enough with it for basic mp3 listening but.. it really seems geared for the rock music community which is a shame because there's a whole market out there who use their MP3 player for podcasting or audio books or even religious material. classical music is no where to be found in the zune marketplace. it'd also be great if it could automatically transcode video from non-compatible formats (ie: mov, mp4, etc) INTO the wmv format for me via the zune program. the wifi really needs to be able to connect to the internet to allow for streaming content from third-party sites that support an "interface language" of sorts (perhaps xml).
like i say, lots of potential, but disappointing. i hope microsoft will be quick with supplying firmware updates to open up more and more features quickly. it *has* to play catch up!

I purchased the Zune, assuming it had more available on Zune Marketplace - but cannot find any tv shows, movies to download and it has a compatibility issue with movies, shows I already have in library. MP3 and Picture storage works fine, but I really wanted to download shows/movies as well. Customer Service not especially outstanding. Not sure if I am keeping or returning this item.
