Microsoft… You killed my Cradle!!!
Posted by Chris Leckness on 11/14/07I have to buy the new version of the cradle now...
UPDATE : Solved : Gen 1 Zune Cradle with Zune 2
The Zune 30 cradle will not work with the Zune 80. The connector is the same, but the orientation will not allow me to place the Zune 80 into the cradle.
I took the damn thing apart to see if I could do anything, but short of cutting out part of the cradle and making it unsightly, I am SOL. I will have to drop some loot on the new one I guess.

While that really sucks, at least they use the same connector. Would you consider that a deal breaker for Zune 30 owners looking to upgrade?
naw, but be advised that you’ll have to drop another 80-100 bucks for the cradle.
It’s fixable. Check out:

Well there goes my cradle also. Can a Zune 4/8 fit into the cradle?
[…] I posted that I was unhappy about not being able to use my original Zune Dock Cradle with the Zune 80. Well I got a comment […]
Yeah, more things should be compatible…I think since they got off to a bad start their kind of thrown off.
A bad start is one thing but they should keep in mind those who but the first accessories. A lot of Apple accessories work with their new models.
that would really piss me off. WHat would really be cool is if with the new craddle the navigation system was actually a zunepad,. I would make me flip
