  Strengths: Very easy to use and sync

  Weaknesses:No instructions with zune

  Overall Evaluation: I purchased an Ipod about 3 years ago and after 10 hours on phone between Microsoft and Apple and giving $30.00 of my hard earned money to Microsoft I still couldnt get my computer to work with the Ipod. After downloading software and plugging in my Zune I had all 600 songs on my Zune and was listening to it after it was charged up. I highly recommend this product to anyone

  Strengths: Good size video presentationeasy intuitive navigation thru the buttonsnice soundFM STATIONS!!Good memory for the buck

  Weaknesses:No manual to help start up. Smart wife took 3 hrs to set up.No included conversion software. (you have to buy one from a third party if your vids aren't in 1 of 4 formats)SLOW transfer rate

  Overall Evaluation: I bought the Zune for my wife's daily subway commute. She seemed quite happy after her first day. Looks like decent picture quality and sound. (I'm used to high def TV with my 5.1 Bose and it seems fine to me)Setting the little bugger up was annoying though. b/cTHERE IS NO MANUAL that walks you through. A LOT of fumbling around like a monkey armed with a paper clip in a room full of electrical sockets. Till you finally get a OOooh! It'd be nice to have a couple of examples at least of how to load in the files. Turns out its all about having the right format of video in the right 'known' file and then synch em. A voila! two hours of downloading time later your ready to go!THERE IS NO PRELOADED CONVERSION SOFTWARE! You have to surfing for one and hope you find a programs that doesn't burn you wallet or your PC's phallus with some unknown VD. Since the Zune only handles a few specific formats you have to find at least one converted that'll prep the vids you wanna load. TRANSFER RATE IS DEPRESSINGLY SLOW. Maybe its so **** slow on purpose, to give the Zune a chance to recharge (via USB transfer cable), since that's the only way the boxed set allows you to charge unless you've paid a jacked up price on a charger just to get that initial discount.OTHERWISE THE ZUNE SEEMS GREAT!MORE CYNICAL REVIEWS WILL COME AFTER WIFEY USES FOR A BIT.
