RSSThe Zune- Pros and Cons
The Zune is perhaps the first ever competitor to the iPod that comes with features that are not included in the iPod. However, there are certain areas where the iPod scores better. Here is a list of pros and cons of the Zune.
Pros:
The Zune sounds better than the iPod. Although the former doesn’t have an equalizer, it is reported that the music coming out from Zune sounds better than the iPod.
The touch facility of Zune scores more. To go down a list you just need to touch the bottom of the Zune pad rather if you don’t like the click wheel from the iPod. Other features include.
• Great screen – the screen of Zune looks great! It is large, crystal clear and is very easy to read.
• Navigation – Zune is very user friendly, once you are used to it.
• FM radio - also includes RDBS
• Supports podcasts - so you can still get you fix of your favorite podcast
• Wireless sync with PC using WiFi - much better than a cable!
Cons:
• Battery life – the battery life is not up to the mark, especially for people who watch a lot of video non-stop.
• PC Software – it takes a while to get used to the PC software.
• Cannot be used to store files – storing files is a common feature of most of the MP3 players. But, it sounds strange that Zune doesn’t have this facility.
In short, the Zune is a welcome addition to the media player market. When you are used to your good old iPod, you will be finding it hard to give it up. However, if you are looking for a change, we suggest you to replace it with the Zune.
