PC Authority.have posted a review of Microsoft's Zune Digital Media Player (Black). 'The Zune display uses an odd aspect ratio of 3:4 during normal operation, which is taller than an iPod display, but looks like a regular screen when you turn it on its side to view video files. Its peculiar tall dimensions make for better viewing of a long list of tracks, though. The circular interface plus pad doesn’t have any mystical touch-sensitive features – it’s merely a showy covering on a simple four-way switch.
The Zune background theme uses neat blurry images as a backdrop while you float through the responsive menus. There are three themes pre-loaded: a warm colored set called Amber, a charcoal-tones set called Haze and a purplish set called Night. Like the iPod, the Zune displays the letter of the artist, album or song as you scroll through lists at pace.'
