Our first look at Zune, finally

Today, Microsoft gave CNET a demonstration of the Zune and the Zune software. Our initial impressions: It's a well-designed portable media device with good playback performance, a snappy processor, and an excellent interface. Wi-Fi sharing worked well, but prospective owners should know that format support, especially for videos, is limited. This goes along with Microsoft's mantra of starting simple and closed, then expanding features as the Zune community evolves.

Watch the demo video and read our first take of the Microsoft Zune.

OH MAN.... grrr

And I finally got the ipod 60gb.. there is always something new out there !! GRRR... Well we will see if everyone says if it is better than the ipod. However, the wifi and sharing functins are sweet. The video showed how fast the transfer of the music to another Zune. But.... The Zune's were right next to each other. I should do some research and see how far you can be and the sharing functions still works...
