Zune!

I was waiting to have a look at the new media player from Microsoft, Zune! Finally one of my friend got it from US. I am planning to buy one little later. It is simply awesome. Though I read a lots of mixed reviews in the internet, I was having a confidence that my Microsoft won’t throw a simple answer to iPod! And as expected, Zune is a blasting device!

The main advantage(as far as I’m concerned) is the wide screen! It simply rocks and it make the Zune to be the best portable video player in the Market. The sound quality is too good and the another good thing is FM radio! Oops, forgot to mention one more good thing – setting up any picture as background and it becomes the theme background as well! It is very nice.

The greatest of all is the WiFi. I am sure that this will rule the Zuners and the Zune World! 🙂

Took the Zune for a spin from my friend. Has a good collection of preloaded audio/video/pics.

I am sure that Zune is gonna be the talk of the town everywhere in the world. I am waiting for its launch in India.

Welcome to the Social! Zune rocks.
