Jason Langridge gets Zuned
<a href="http://www.mobilitysite.com/blogimages/zunezune.jpg"></a>Jason Langridge is a Microsoft Employee, but he is not part of the Zune team and he has a right to an opinion as well.
Seems like all in all, he likes it. Yeah!
<strong><u>Good Stuff</u></strong>
<ul>
<li>The screen! Wow! It's great for pictures but also is excellent for the album art too... when I buy CD's I never really get to see the CD Cover. I just rip it straight to the PC so I'm discovering all the album covers from my music now! </li>
<li>I love the attention to detail and the whole out of the box experience. From getting (what was a much smaller box than I expected) to installing the software was an absolute dream! </li>
<li>The little touches make it great... The Hello From Seattle ......... seemed very cool but it did make me laugh that only 2 inches past this it says... Assembled in China </li>
<li>Sound quality is excellent and the provided headphones are actually very good! </li>
<li>FM Radio has unbelievably good reception. I've always been sceptical on using the radio on devices as previous units I had it was all crackles and poor reception. The Zune is excellent. </li>
<li>WiFi sharing is cool... of course I was trying it in the home of the Zune but finding people happened pretty regularly and it's always fun trying to find who's Zune it is that you are going to share music with! </li>
<li>A little touch I noticed but really like is if you take off the headphones - the music pauses... nice!</li>
</ul>
<strong><u>Not so Good Stuff</u></strong>
<ul>
<li>Where's the charger? secondly - why a proprietary connector... why not Mini- USB ! </li>
<li>Only 30GB - I need more space really! </li>
<li>No widescreen </li>
</ul>

I got the home accessory kit which comes with the AC adapter, A/V Output Cable, Dock, Sync Cable and Wireless Remote. My Zune looks great docked next to my Dell Axim x51v (in its cradle)

I just recieved mine yesterday, now I am coverting my movies to Mp4 to use on it. I wonder why Microsoft didn't include .Avi files to be played on it?
I think i'll be ordering the Belkin Fm wireless transmitter\car adapter\holder accessory for it.

I'd be interested to hear what you think of Belkin's transmitter (etc). I was waiting to see what others thought about it before I got one

Another example of Microsoft innovation!

Does anybody know if a mini-USB connector has enough communications capability to allow third party peripherals to control the Zune (or an iPod)? Because I know with my Bose Sounddock for my iPod it has its own volume control, and ignores the volume control on the iPod. I expect that the Zune is the same.
