The Zune has a lot of potential. When they make the next Zune it’ll be a lot better, and will hopefully be able to combat the iPod, or at least pose a threat. Besides, iPod is too popular. I’d rather do something against the crowd than with it. So I can’t wait to (probably) get a Zune (still doing research). We all know the Zune isn’t as good as the iPod YET!

That’s been laughed off by non-believers when brought up in the past, but I won’t be dissuaded. When they can get people to pay upwards of $10 for HDTV movie rentals there is a big slice in that pie that webmasters could share in revenue-wise. AdCenter could start strong with webmasters in a niche that Google and Yahoo can’t touch. Where are they? Why don’t they pull the trigger?

On launch day I bought the brown Zune and was willing to give it a chance. I liked it and while I don’t have an active Zune pass any more (just canceled last month), I still like it. Still don’t listen to it very much though, but I didn’t listen to my wife’s iPod either. Most of the time I listen to music I’m either in the car listening to MP3 (our car plays CDs with mp3 on them) or in front of my computer listening to iTunes or Zune through the Windows. I don’t care for earbuds or headphones from a comfort standpoint and also convenience because I need to use the phone here and there. So a portable device — any portable device — isn’t going to get much usage from me. As a portable device goes the Zune does most things I’d like it to do.

So, the review needs to say "And while playing games on the Xbox 360 I can stream music from Zune Software." I would love if Zune can stream music to Xbox!!! I think there will be plenty of people lined up to get Zune then! Did anyone notice that Zune cycles through menu? In other words, if you are browsing songs starting with letter "Z", you don't have press the "up" button to get to a "A" song. Just press the "down" button. It is a nice little feature but I love it because I use Zune while running. That’s what I thought of the options available.

Plug the Zune into the 360 directly, via USB. You can actually do this with any external USB device, even an iPod, as long as the music on the device is in a format the 360 supports. This obviously means that you *CAN NOT* play any DRM'd iTunes songs. 2. Stream from the PC with the Zune software. This works similiar to how Media Connect and WMP11 can stream their library content to a 360. You go to the media blade, select Music, then Computer, then the PC that has the Zune software will show up with a little Zune icon and all your library is available for streaming.

I really like your comment about reviewers putting out some money. I have to wonder just how many of those who have written about the Zune have actually spent time using it apart from pushing buttons on one locked to the counter in Target or Best Buy. I bought one the day it came out because I wanted to try something different than an iPod. I really like the Zune and have not regretted my purchase. I've started using the Zune Pass and am loving that too. I have to say that comment number 17 is an awesome comparison. Great review.
