Zune - A MomGadget Review

by Gayla McCord on June 16th, 2008

 zune 8 GB

Music and entertainment, my way!  Being the control freak that I am, I’ve never been a real fan of iPod - for the simple fact that I didn’t like the control iTunes kept over my options and abilities where my entertainment was concerned.

Zune completely caters to the control freak in me.  I love that I was able to load my favorite CD’s and that I’m able to connect to other Zune users via my Zune to share tunes, videos and more.

Here’s what Amazon has to say and highlighted are the points I Love!

That’s what the Zune 8 GB Digital Media Player is designed to deliver. The Zune easily connects you with your music, videos, and pictures wherever and whenever you want, and unlike the iPod, it even has a built-in FM tuner so you can keep up with local news and sports. Your Zune gives you the power to wirelessly share full-length tracks, playlists, pictures and podcasts with your other Zune-wielding friends, and it is available in four bold colors (PINK). And when you receive songs that you just can’t get out of your head, you can easily tag the songs and buy them the next time you sync up. Whether you’re listening to music, radio, or rocking out to the latest music videos on the bright, roomy screen, the Zune allows you to tailor your entertainment, right in the palm of your hand.

All four of my kids are in the market to sell their iPod’s and upgrade - yes - upgrade to a Zune.  That’s exactly what you’ll be doing when moving out from under the name and on to quality in portable music entertainment.

I will say if you are in the market for an mp3 - this is the way to go.  Bar none!

Now - what to fill it up with?

My MomGadget Choice is:  Zune 8 GB Digital Media Player Pink (2nd Generation)

    The Zune looks nice (i love the pink) — but I rarely even use my iPod that often, so I doubt I’d use a Zune that much either!

    I want a Zune. The price is more affordable than an iPod, and you don’t have to use a specific type of program for the music :)

    My son is trying to decide what to buy right now (he wants to repace the iPod that broke when he got tackled in a touch football game … not such a bright idea to play touch football with an iPod in your pocket, eh?!)
    I’ll have him take a look at your review of the Zune … you’re obviously very impressed by it. By the way, do they have a pink one? :-)

    @ Karyn, I didn’t write the review, but I can tell you that they definitely have pink ones :) I’ve been admiring one, xD

    Yes, they have pink ones. That’s the one I got. I love my Zune! Every. Single. Day. And especially with four teens here all day long for summer break :)
