Microsoft should have designed a ZUNE Phone with GSM/CDMA capability running on high speed networks with built in Wifi. Make sure it does not have the limitations and bullsh*t associated with the iphone in it though.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 3rd 2007 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/
Not to mention that it will take a few more years until we'll see convergent devices with a DECENT amount of memory - 8/16GB are nowhere near enough for a main PMP imho...especially not if it also has a good camera and records in 720p (not unlikely till 2010 I'd say).]]>Oct 3rd 2007 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 3rd 2007 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/It's funny that Microsoft's new products that aren't even out yet are already behind the iPod in virtually every aspect.

Microsoft isn't doing anything new and they expect to overtake the leader of the MP3 player market. Give me a break. If you don't wan't an iPod I can point you to about 10 different players that are way better than the Zune for probably less money from Archos, Creative and Sandisk. Don't say the zune is awesome because you have an illogical stick up your ass about the iPod. Be an intelligent shopper and actually compare the usefullness of the features.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/

I have the unpleasant feeling that all the news about Zune have been attack by microsoft workers
ps : I have nothing positive or negativ about Zune2 and Ipod. Better to wait to see this products in action]]>Oct 3rd 2007 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/

I also noticed from the video that the squircle isn't just a squarer version of the original circle pad - they seem to be stroking the pad with their thumbs to make it scroll... They could just be pressing the button - but it's a weird way to do it if it's not touch sensitive...

But to me - the one essential, must have feature I've not seen yet... USB Mass Storage mode. No pocket drive, no sale for me, alas.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 3rd 2007 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 3rd 2007 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 3rd 2007 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 3rd 2007 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 4th 2007 4:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 3rd 2007 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 3rd 2007 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/
"We’re still testing battery life on the new Zune 4GB, 8GB, and 80GB, but it’s looking good. Since we built them from the ground up, we have more control over battery performance."

If it's even close to the 30hr audio/5hr video spec of the iPod Classic, I'm sold.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/
* Battery life (music): Up to 20 hours (wireless off)
* Battery life (pictures): Up to 5 hours
* Battery (video): Up to 5 hours

I think the battery life time on audio is a bit on the short side compared to the iPod Classic.

The other PMP that's vying for my money is the 16gb Creative Zen, which clocks in at 25hrs audio and 5hrs video, but that's a flash drive based player... not a HD based one.

Decisions, decisions.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/
A quick search of the provided site of the Zune 80 (Ctrl+F) of the word battery comes up empty. Another search of Amazons product line for Zune 2 brings up the original Zune (not Zune 2). So where the hell did you find this battery life info on Amazon?

Provide a link, otherwise, your information is BS.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 3rd 2007 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 3rd 2007 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/

The feature set of the Zune2 sounded pretty neat. Really, I was hoping this would pressure Apple to really innovate with their iPod offerings sooner (as in 4 months, since they just revised the line), but given how bad these things look (hell, they make the Zune1 look like a winner), this doesn't look like it'll affect the market at all. Sad, really.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/Oct 3rd 2007 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/amazon-reveals-november-13th-release-date-for-new-zunes/

The Zune 2 style is a big improvement and the squircle thing is eye-catching.
The user interface video on ZuneScene seems pretty decent. I didn't see a slick feature like Coverflow, but the menus are nice and getting video from Media Center seems cool. I also understand that the Zune software is much better. It's all good.
