The Twilight Zune
There’s a Zune video. Watch it, and when you’ve woken up, decide whether you agree with these statements from Robert Scoble:
- Box design: good. As good as iPod.
- Look and feel and overall hardware quality: good. As good as iPod. I actually even liked the brown one a lot.
- Screen: better than iPod.
- Hard drive size: worse than iPod.
- Features: mixed bag, we’ll get into that below.
- Price: in the right neighborhood.
- Marketing: unknown, but Apple has set such a high bar that I doubt Microsoft can even get close.
- Software experience: unknown.
- Updateability: better than iPod (if I were Apple I’d worry about this).
- Conversationality: (Does it cause a conversation). Here Apple wins with the white headphones hands down.
- Integration: beats the iPod cause it works with Xbox.
What I find interesting about this video is that whilst it says a lot about Zune, it says so much more to me about things other than Zune.
