Zune Hits US Stores

 For the first time, Microsoft’s portable music player debuted across stores in the US. Currently only a single 30 GB model is available in three different colors (Brown, Black and White) for $250.

Features:

  • Zune 30GB model – $249
  • 3-inch screen (320*240 pixels)
  • FM radio
  • Songs cost 99 cents or unlimited subscription for $15 a month
  • Two million songs on offer
  • Wirelessly share songs with other Zune users
  • Registered guests can swap songs via a PC

There are some mixed reaction among consumers at time point of time, some are praising, while others are criticizing. I’m quite impressed by Zune’s Social Music Sharing feature and point based Music subscription, but it doesn’t look as cute as iPod.  

Zune’s Advertisement on YouTube: I found handful of Zune Ads on YouTube, but only this one looked authentic

Gizmodo got their hands early on Zune and have posted a nice coverage on unpacking Zune, Check it out. What’s your opinion towards Zune, Don’t feel shy to drop your comments.

Thanks: Lovedeep
