Blog/Nicholas ChanZUNE ZUNE
Written by Nicholas Chan on November 6, 2006 – 3:30 pm -
Are you ready for the upcoming Ipod rival, Microsoft ZUNE? Zune is going to rock your word at 14th November 2006 releasing in United States first. No news of the release date outside of U.S. yet, but I know store here sure will illegally import it in and the price would not be the same, won’t be lower but higher. I recommend you get from a reliable store or wait for Asia release of MS Zune. This Zune is almost same like 5th/5.5 Generation Ipod but there are new feature which the current Ipod don’t have. It features a 3.0″ LCD Screen (Apple’s Ipod only gets a 2.5″ Screen but rumors saying that a full screen Ipod going to annouce soon), 30GB of capacity, video/photos playback, as well as mp3, wma, aac. The special features which an Ipod don’t have is it has build in Wireless connectivity with 802.11b/g WiFi for sharing playlist and songs with other Zune owner and maybe Internet Radio will appear on Zune. Though, Zune does not allow song transferring, as I mentioned song sharing is you are able to listen to the song from other Zune at a limit period. This Zune will cost only 249USD at the price RM9xx in Malaysia, having the same price as current Ipod. Microsoft first start on portable media device and this is not a bad start.
5.5 Gen Ipod or this Microsoft Zune?
I’ll go for Zune as both are also at the same price but Zune offer a bigger screen and wireless connectivity. However, sorry for Apple Music Store owner as Zune will not support songs that bought via Apple Music Store.
