Microsoft Zune MP3 Player - Reg Hardware

Zune-Reviewed.jpg

A review of Microsoft's Zune wireless music player has been posted over at Reg Hardware. 'Turn on the Zune and the first thing that strikes you is the 3in screen that dominates the front of the unit. While it works well in portrait mode for navigating your music collection, where it really shines is video - turn it to landscape mode and you can view widescreen content on a relatively large scale for a portable player. Unfortunately, you'll have to transcode any video content into WMV format first as that's the only type of video the Zune will play natively.

The interface is simple to use - especially once you realise that the round thing at the bottom is actually four buttons for up, down, left and right and not an iPod-style click wheel. The interface is very similar to the one Microsoft developed for its Portable Media Center platform, with the ability to go left and right in menus as well as up and down, which can speed up navigation.'
