About Cnet’s 1st Look at the Zune 80

Posted by Chris Leckness on 11/11/07

This is a short video but shows some of the seemless scrolling that the new Zune Pad allows for. I personally dig the new menu. It's still much like the original Zune, but it's a lot bigger and the animation when you click is awesome.

Wow, really refreshing to hear a positive review from cnet!

I was watching this video and as he was talking about the wireless sinc I was wondering something. Will the Zune software make it possible or will you have to setup your computer yourself. I have not seen or heard anything about how the wireless sync. I also like the fact that you can unsubscribe from podcast on the player itself and you dont have to get onto the computer to do so.

The new Zune keeps getting better and better in my view. Ipod watch out cause Microsoft is catching up fast.

Good to see that Microsoft has done a lot of things right this time around. The Zune pad is a really smart idea (at least it appears from various videos I have seen) that mixes both the traditional button based world with the iPhone / iTouch world.

I wish they had a built in FM transmitter into it that would let me listen to my music instead of having to buy those extra bulky car accessories.

I tried searching for the same video on youtube but could not find it. Is there a Zune 4 / 8 CNET review also?

Thanks,
Vaibhav

The Zune Pad looks killer. The big font size is kind of nice. It makes it much easier on the eyes.

I’m glad the aluminum back isn’t all shiny like the iPod’s. This’ll make it much less prone to finger prints and scratches. Sounds like Microsoft did it right with the design.

This Cnet employee has a MP3 podcast called mp3 insider. Everyone should check it out.

The Cnet MP3 insider podcast has been giving the Zune some pretty good reviews. They couldn’t stop using them when they first got them into the office.
