Microsoft Zune unboxed black |
Loading ...At Wal-mart earlier today, I bought the black Zune ($249 USD plus tax), no accessories yet, and put together a video of the unboxing. Also trying the metacafe video service:

More on the Zune later once I install the software and plug in the USB (that’s next). I hope my Zune software installation goes better than it did for the Engadget folks. And yes, I do realize that I paid a $1 Universal Music tax. Thanks for caving on that one, Microsoft. Not.
I like the look and feel of the Zune. Check out the video above for the Apple-inspired sweet packaging.
Zune UnBoxing With TDavid
Lots of stuff flying around about Microsoft’s Zune with the release today. I just caught TDavid’s unboxing video. Definitely worth a look see if you’re interested in this device. Nice side by side with the iPod. It will be interesting

[…] The Zune [see Zune unboxed video] faces a similar underdog battle against the iPod. Will be interesting to see what happens in 4-5 years on that front too. […]

[…] - Microsoft Zune unboxed black (3) [nov 14] - How to share an MP3 directory with Microsoft Zune and Apple iPod / iTunes on Mac (0) [nov 16] - *Here’s what critics are missing about Zune (3) [nov 17] “I understand the necessities of the compromises that Microsoft made and I think that a lot of this is being driven more by their IPTV goals, then even their Zune goals, but I still see it as a case of technology gone bad. I do think you’re absolutely right about the Zune marketplace being the real killer app for this device though. Micropayments will be huge and Microsoft is building something much bigger then an mp3 player with their site. It will be neat to see where this ends up going.” – Comment by Davis Freeberg — November 17, 2006 @ 11:56 am […]
