Microsoft 80GB Zune
The iPod may be the leading electronic device among the techies but coming to a close second is the latest offering of Microsoft. It is said that the Microsoft Zune will become the biggest competitor of the iPod. Now with a new and hip design, higher memory capacity, wireless sync, podcast support and a much larger screen, the Zune is on its way to the top. The new 80GB Zune has become slimmer with triple the capacity of its older brother. Now, it has become easier for it to fit in the pocket. Yet despite its size, its whopping 3.2 inches LCD screen leaves the iPod’s 2.5 inch screen tad a few steps behind. Also, the screen is now made out of glass, not the conventional plastic, making it more sophisticated and scratch-resistant. Another breakthrough that can be found in the Zune is called the Zune Pad, which is best described by combining a standard four-direction navigation key pad and a touch pad. Because of the presence of the Zune Pad, navigation not only has become quicker but also easier as well. Apart from all the features of the previously launched Zune, the 80GB Zune now has the capability to support podcasts and Wi-Fi networks. Zune users can even transfer videos and music with each other. If that isn’t enough to convince you of the versatility of the Zune, then check out its price and you will see that its value goes beyond more than what it is worth, making it the best iPod alternative there is today.
