Negative Positive
Title: A mediocre product at best
Review: It isn't just its well-documented install problems. The Zune just looks and feels cheap. The fake-out click wheel interface adds to the aura of chintziness. The Zune software is an unneccessary second step--why not use WMP?--and the Microsoft Points are silly. The lack of podcast support is unforgivable, the inability to use it as an external hard drive is insulting, and the wi-fi is useless.The screen is marginally larger, and even though it is the exact same resolution with the same number of pixels, it does look slightly more attractive than Apple's iPod does. However, that is more than undone by the sheer unsexiness of the Zune casing, and the inelegance of the clunky interface.Now, it's not a terrible product. It's a slightly ahead of the Creative Zen, for example. But it's still well behind the SanDisk Sansa, and even farther still behind Apple's iPod and iPod Nano.All in all, I would stay away from the Zune.
