Jaxim gets Big Blog Love from Crunchgear

Posted by Chris Leckness on 11/30/07

Being in the the tech site community for a couple years, I know that getting your opinions heard is easy said than done. While the size of Aximsite / Mobilitysite's readership is pretty damn big, they have nothing on Crunchgear, so it's great to see a regular commentor and GotZune Blogger get some Crunchgear love today.

Jaxim got his Blind Review linked to from Crunchgear's main page today. Great Job sir.

I donâ€™t own one of the new Zunes that just came out this past month, but my friend allowed me to test his out pretty thoroughly and I was able to ask him what he didnâ€™t like about it.
I must say I really enjoyed it. However there are a â€œfewâ€ things that I thought were lacking with the device. Despite these deficiencies I would still purchase it over an iPod classic. Read onâ€¦

read the rest here...

Note: This is his big chance at a Zune 80 too. Head over and help him win a Zune 80!

Tell the world about your review and have your friends comment, vote, and generally create a ruckus. Sometimes friends are slow and donâ€™t know how to vote. Those friends can leave comments.

Overall, I think the review was solid. Unfortunately, just like on the Zune forums, the main complaints are that the Zune (player at least) doesn’t do things that a Portable Media Device shouldn’t necessarily do like PDF support, stopwatch, clock, calender, etc. I’d be OK with the clock, but the other things are unneeded extras.

I do like the suggestion to make it easier to get files recorded on Windows Media Center onto the Zune. That seems like a no brainer.

While these things could be beneficial, I think they should be saved for the Ipod touch killer/Zune touch. There’s no need on a media player for all those extras that will simply add bulk to the firmware and probably slow it down.

Other than those qualms it was a very solid and objective review.

Selected 5 stars, hope that helps.

@Ray J Gentry IV: I agree, there are things that could be "nice" to have then others that that just shouldn’t be on there that people want. I don’t need my PMD to start my car. As long as I can listen to quality music, radio or show some friends some pictures I am happy.

I agree. But it would be a nice to have those kinds of things. But I do think the stopwatch/timer is pretty essential, especially when it comes to the flash Zune since the flash Zune would be a great gadget to use while working out and a stopwatch/timer would be great features for the Zune in these cases.
