Got it! 80GB Black Zune 2
Following my article Great music, Zune and iPod…I finally decided to buy the 80GB Zune 2 rather than an iPod. I think that the main thing that decided it for me was that there was a built-in FM radio in the Zune 2 and also because the display is bigger making watching videos far easier. Mind you, it was a close call between the iPod and the Zune 2.
The Zune 2 arrived a few days ago and I’ve synchronized all my music, a lot of photos and a few videos. The unit looks pretty cool in its blackness, the sound quality is very good and the headphones are pretty decent too. I appreciate the built-in FM radio, and of course WiFi synchronization. I haven’t met anyone else with a Zune so I’m not sure about the “Social” yet!
One thing that I am waiting for is Amazon’s global MP3 download service. That will release everyone from the shackles of DRM infected files and from iTunes and the like…in essence this will allow us all to move between Zune, iPod or any other MP3 player. Come on Amazon, give us some launch dates!
