Zune portable media player is already on the shelves in the USA

As Steve Ballmer ( Steve Ballmer cool cool people my favorite among all CEOs) said: “We will 'make' an ipod, but it will not be easy.”
So, as promised from November 14, 2006, Zune can already be bought at a price of $ 249.99. the price is about the same as that of the “similar” iPOD. CriticsOf course they reproach Zune for all mortal (and not only) sins, but still I have to admit this is a really new step compared to the ipod. If the apple product still follows the evolutionary path, microsoft has made (or tried) something new. So, the Zune media player is positioned as a kind of social device with which it will be possible to share its addictions in music / video / td with the owners surrounding Zune (the WiFi port is compatible only with another Zune). So, each player, the user can customize for himself, enter his nickname for identification in the Zune community, broadcast / share / download / listen to each other's media content. The opportunities open up to the widest. You walk along the street in the city center, turn on your Zune friends search and communicate through music together. And I think the possibilities will not stop there thanks to the ability to upgrade the firmware, you can wait for new features from Microsoft or enthusiasts. In general, despite a fairly large number of minuses now, the product as it turns out is at least interesting. In general, I would like this myself, although in our village you will not try its main functional capabilities.
