Much much better than the Nano

Strengths: Wireless Sync, Easy transfer of music, excellent gui

Weakness: Wish there were more accessories but I am sure they will be released in time.

My wife has a new Nano that we shared, but I was getting so frustrated with the crappy ITunes that I bought myself a Zune. Now, after seeing how easy to sync music and the interface on the PC, my wife wants to sell her crappy Nano and buy a Zune. I cannot express how satisfied I am with the wireless sync and how easy it is! Mwave had the cheapest price and was great! I hope that the increase popularity of the 2nd gen Zune brings more accessories (every store I went to was sold out of 2nd Gen Flash Zunes)

Zune 4GB Media Player - Black (Internal Flash...

Strengths: This media player rates 10 out of 10. It is so easy to use PLUS the fact that it is an FM receiver makes it so versatile. The various features (being able to play games, see album covers)are great!

Weakness: Not being too computer literate, it took me about 2 hours to get everything set up, but this was very minor compared to all the strengths of this unit.

I love, love, love my new Zune 4GB Media Player. It is so small, yet so powerful. I love being able to download complete albums and use the "shuffle" feature to listen to a variety of music. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a compact media player. I have friends who have other types of media players, but this media player FM tuner cannot be beaten for the price, size and versatility.

Amazing Product

Strengths: Came free with laptop, Screen Resolution, FM Radio, Video

Weakness: Battery Life and does not include a non-USB charger.

This was my second MP3 player, replacing an older IPod. This product in my mind far surpasses what the IPod was able to do. It is very easy to use and fast to charge. The keys are much more responsive to touch. THe vidoe quality is amazing. I just wish that it would have come with a AC adapter and not just the USB data cable to charge it.

Better Than IPOD Nano!

Strengths: Can store up to 1,000 songs, 25,000 pictures or 12 hours of video,wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing, bright, 1.8-inch color screen.

Weakness: None

This Zune 4GB is very impressive with the vivid screen & the Zune software. The software was easy to download and use with the Zune. I love the small size. It's like a thin candy bar. Microsoft has outdone Apple with this mp3 player. Kudos!

Good player except some annoying things

Strengths: well designed, easy to use, wireless sync, good sound quality

Weakness: weird software installation, no built-in graphic equalizer, freezes

Really good design, cool Zune software (except annoying installation procedure...) but sadly no built-in graphic eq, bass boost, etc... It is the worst thing ever. The sound quality with good earphones is good.

almost perfect

Strengths: Well built

Weakness: small screen, and pricy

It is really nice solid little player for both hardware and software. The control pad is vary easy to navigate. Very good sound, and video quality is super. Only the screen size is bit small. I will buy 30G or 80G when the price is right. Recommend without reservation.
