Microsoft Zune
Introduction :(the device)
With the "Zune" Microsoft tries to defy Apple, iPod family, the market for mobile music player, which dominates. After the Zune's initial release, only one version with 30 GB hard drive in the U.S. is first started, then a slightly revised edition with 80-GB hard disk and a compact player with 4 GB or 8 GB flash memory. To synchronize with its own software is used. Since the Zune has not sold particularly well so far in, there is still no publicly announced plans for a launch in other parts of the world. Microsoft announced only that the Zune will be available spring in other parts of the world. The low dollar makes the direct import from the U.S., however interesting, because the Zune even for express shipping and customs and VAT is hardly more expensive than high costs with an iPod nano. Since the Zune is the USB port charged over, you need not worry about it do, how to battery on 220V mains charging gets the integrated. A charger is not supplied already. Who needs it necessarily "get Zune" accessories.
It can be updated via firmware update, however, and then dominated almost all functions of the new devices. The second generation Zune, 80 GB hard drive costs about $ 250. The flash Zunes with 4 GB and 8 GB cost about $ 150 or $ 180. For the test came a Zune 8 GB of memory used.
