I am an admitted ipod hater. I have the original Zune 30 gig brown brick, so I've been waiting for something like the Zune HD to come out. I will say that I stopped by an Apple store to see the ipod touch to have something to compare the Zune HD with. from Amazon.com Up front - my wife and I are raising 5 young kids, so I rarely sit down and actually write up reviews like this. Music being one of my great passions, I thought I'd share some of my experiences with my latest music-related purchases - the Zune HD 32 Platinum. Even though I realize there are other companies that produce portable music players, this is not going to be an "I love all things Apple" vs "I love all things Microsoft" review - I couldn't care less which you prefer, and competition is a GOOD thing, from which customers generally benefit. from Amazon.com After owning the original 20gb Archos and now a few Sandisks and Ipods, I can safely say, Microsoft has created a true Ipod killer. The Zune HD absolutely amazes, and right now, all that's missing is the accessory support. from Amazon.com So far, I am really happy with the Zune HD. I have had since launch and haven't had any problems. from Amazon.com Podcasts which I mainly listen to have become frustrating whereas before it was easy to select "played". that option is no longer available. If you sync a "played" podcast, ZuneHD won't remove it from the device like older versions. It's harder to see the date of the podcast you listen to w/o going to an extra navigation screen. from Amazon.com Hmmm, I was about to cancel my order for the 32GB Zune HD, (Amazon was on back order), but to my disappointment it had already shipped. Man am I glad it did. from Amazon.com After my first week, I like the thing.... I have downloaded some movies and mp3s and I get it now....and I am glad I bought it - its screen is super incredible but the movie and tv show selection is small....there is popular stuff there but not much of it..... you need to ramp up the content selection Microsoft! Apps are almost non-existent - Microsoft, you have a cool device; make software available for it! from Amazon.com Now, it is the time for me to say "I love Zune". Microsoft gave me a surprise this time really. from Amazon.com Great device, does a lot of things really well, although a few not so great. For me an internal speaker is a must(not on the zune hd). Zune 4.0 software is really good and all you can eat music zune pass could over time pay for the zune(unlimited song downloads with subscription, as well as 10 downloads a month to keep even if you cancel zune pass). from Amazon.com My husband bought this Zune for my anniversary. It is really beautiful. from Amazon.com
