MICROSOFT HAS NO IDEA HOW TO MAKE A GOOD DAP.

Apple has beaten them so badly, its incredible.

I wrote a review praising the ZUNE a long time ago. I criticised the lack of a good wifi component for it.

Apple comes right back around and releases the IPod touch and the Iphone. BAMMM Microsoft...your DEAD.

How is it that the largest, most powerful company in computing could go so wrong in so many ways? How could they let Apple get this far, this fast when they clearly have market manipulation on their side?

I am getting so sick and tired of Microsoft's stupidity that I can see them declining in the future just like America's has declined over time in the face of renewed threats from Russia, China and the world stage. POOR LEADERSHIP = POOR STRATEGY = FAIL

Sorry it doesn't share songs, it's worst! You can only listen to them three times.

True, the Zune allows to you sync via wi-fi. (I will give you that one)

Other than those too, wi-fi is completely useless. No internet and no wi-fi music store (like the Touch and Sanza Connect)]]>Aug 30th 2008 4:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/

and doesnt "crippled", in this case, usually mean that something is actually capable of features but someone disabled said features. to my knowledge the zune has never had internet capability...so how could it be crippled? correct me if im wrong.]]>Aug 30th 2008 5:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/
What are you going to criticize it for next, not having as much memory as the classic? Not having the form factor of the shuffle? Not having as quick a 0 to 60 time as your car?]]>Aug 30th 2008 5:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/Say wha? Not only do you bring up a review for an old device (it would be like me comparing the Creative Zen Touch with the iPod Classic), but you assume that the Zune is designed as a competitor to the iPod Touch and iPhone, which is obviously not the case as evidenced by the huge price differences between them. The Zune is a competitor to the iPod Classic, and beats it quite handily in every area except battery life and menu clarity.
Both the Zune and iPod are terrible on the software front, and for that I have always preferred Creative. It's just a shame they've been lagging so far behind with hardware lately.]]>Aug 30th 2008 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/Aug 30th 2008 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/
I'm not defending Flashpoint for his rant but I think you miss a point or at least one way his comment could be taken. What he seems to be talking about is Zune as a brand as opposed to iPod as a brand. If it's true that Zune is targeting the iPod classic and not the rest of the line then I think Microsoft may be making a few mistakes. I like what I've seen of the Zunes other than the original brown which I hated. I have yet to try one though.

If you stop viewing Flashpoint's comment as a rant and look at some of the points he is making I think you might see that he has some good constructive criticisms in there. I committed to iPod years ago but I want to see Zune as serious competition for iPod because only serious competition forces companies to do their best.]]>Aug 30th 2008 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/Aug 30th 2008 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/

I'm with you on the glossy part. Not good... The matte finish on my 80gb Zune is still perfect and I've dropped it a lot. It's also a perfect match to my Thinkpad.]]>Aug 30th 2008 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/Aug 30th 2008 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/Aug 30th 2008 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/Aug 30th 2008 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/zune-120gb-and-16gb-boxed-in-the-wild/
