| Recommended ? | Not at this time. Zune targets the same demographic that would be satisfied with the iPod and does but does not offer a compelling alternative. Nice GUI, but it's not enough | Yes, for people that want a player that "just works" and those who are willing to invest in DRM-wrapped media from iTunes Media Store | Yes, for people who want the same kind of functionality as the iPod Video but with more features. We like the ability to play videos from the web (Xvid/Divx) without having to transcode |
