ZUNE FROM MICROSOFT


Zune, the new WiFi-enabled, bigger-screened iPod competitor from Microsoft was just launched. Its non-scratch rubberized case, FM tuner, wireless song and picture sharing (from up to 30 feeet away), DJ/broadcast mode, richer animation from screen to screen is pretty amazing. They have alot of the same features as the IPOD...playlists, capability to download to a library, and its small shape.
Though the main navigation looks like a scroll wheel, it is a "donut" that clicks in four directions as well as in the center.

Videos are not yet available from the Zune site, but it will be launched shortly.

The 30 gig Zune players retail for $249 and are available from Amazon. A range of accessories are also available.
