Microsoft Zune new line of not only listen to music, to better compete with the iPod from Apple, that the original a Zune

The extensive experience in the development of widgets is quite horrible. Do you remember the Smart Display? The spot shows? The laptops? The original Zune?

Microsoft, but the new second-generation Zune music / photo / video player is a pleasure to use. It sets out a long list of things that the Zune such pathos pallor. Better yet, the new Zune to develop its own identity. The response from Microsoft executives say, “It’s all like iPod, we are not quite so strong.

The family includes three new models. Firstly, there is a turnout of 80 gigabyte hard Zune (250 dollars), the size, design, shape and the prices are competitive for the 80-concert of the iPod classic. Then there are the flash memory-based models, as in the past year the iPod Nano: thin, large, the drives, 4 or 8 gigabytes of music, photos and videos (for $ 150 and $ 200, Nano). The original 30-concert Zune still exists, they also for 200 dollars. (There is no equivalent to Zune, the small iPods, wireless Internet, the iPod Touch Screen or the large capacity of 160 concert iPods.)

Convinced design measures are obvious in all new models. The back is made of metal, such as the iPod, but the structure and thus much less of a chance to show scratches and wells.

Then there are the new pavement control. You can access the Zune, shiny, bright, the animation software by clicking on the scale to the four directions; something select by clicking the middle, and that’s the twist-it is through the lists through friction in the Strip face. Music companies player fought for years for the development of a so good as the Click Wheel iPod, Microsoft Zune 2.0, finally does.

The sound quality is very good, especially if you have 80 concert Zune included headphones. There are no hard drives like the iPod, and how the small Zunes they snuggle soft rubber onions ensure that your Ohrkanäle, the density of the outside world.

Of the 80-concert model, the display is bigger than the iPod’s Classic, but it is the same number of pixels. Accordingly grid of pixels is much more visible, to a screen with the deed in the videos with scenes bright.
