I have been looking for a good media player. Not wanting any of Apple's products, I was searching for an alternative. That's when I came to know that Microsoft was releasing it's own digital media player for the holidays of 2006. The first impression on the device, ZUNE, was an utter disappointment for me. It had a boxy look with an ugly design called the double-shot with click buttons. I hated it.

I knew one thing, that Microsoft will release updates to their firmware and they did it in between, but not up to the mark. Their wireless and radio feature had my hopes still standing. On Oct 2nd, there it was, Microsoft came out with its second generation Zune. It evoked quite some interest.

In a hurry they had got an already available device from Toshiba for last year. For this year, after all the media bashing, Microsoft had changed almost everything in it.
Even though I had been following the events very closely days before that, the actual demo videos of Zune made me buy the idea. Now, I am totally into Zune.
The new Zunes are to be released on Nov 13th. There is a lot of interest in the new version as iPod fans (Read Apple fans) are trying to find something or the other to play them down.
I am buying myself a Zune for sure. Whether it is a 8 GB or an 80 GB is a question, which I will decide on Nov 13th.
