 iPod lovers beware!- This zune is AWESOME November 20, 2009

This piece of equipment is absolutely amazing. The OLED screen is beautiful! Aside from the advertisments at the beginning of the apps they are very cool. The P.G.R. (project gotham racing) game is above playstation two quality- no doubt. Many of the other games are also very interactive taking advantage of the very sensitive accelerometer and interactive touchscreen.
As for the zune software that must be downloaded from the website, less than acceptable for me. You may download music, from an outside source, place that music on your desktop, then drag it into the library, no problem. But, if before you sync your zune, you move the music to a diferent folder, it does not sync to the player, and says there is an error. You must then delete it from your collection, move the music to the desired folder then re-add it to you collection. I have learned to just place the music in the desired folder to begin with but it took some adjusting to. I honestly think that this program is better than iTunes because you can chooose all your settings and see what music, vids, pics ect. you have on the player.
My favorite aspect of this player- When listening to your music, there is an option to touch (select) the artist of the song and read a biography of them, see the songs and albums of them you don't have in your collection, see pictures of them and view related artists- all while not being connected to the internet!
Movies- i just donwloaded a simple zune/iPod video converter (they have the same format, mp4?) and have little trouble with them.
Don't like iPods/ iTunes? This player is for you. If money isn't an issue, get the 32 gb, it is amazing and you won't regret it.

As a lifelong Mac/Apple user, I sneered and hoped for failure along with everyone else when Microsoft came out with the 1st generation Zune. They couldn't have possibly done worse, culminating with the horrific turd-colored brick model. But when pre-release pictures of this version came out on Engadget, I was stunned. After buying it the day it came out, I couldn't believe how sexy this thing was, what a great feel it had to it and how intuitive the software was. It distressed me to no end to have to return it a couple days later because it worked sporadically with the Zune software running on my Mac through Fusion. But after a couple weeks of wishing it was back in my hand, I ordered it again from Amazon, along with a PC laptop, something I would not have even dreamed about a couple years ago. Heck, a couple MONTHS ago. It is all so worth it. This baby is amazing. So what if I can't use my Nike+ on it, I run longer anyway just to listen to all the new music I download with my Zune Pass. Simply awesom, beautiful piece of work. I have completely been won over to the "Dark Side" of Microsoft (according to my friends and co-workers) and lovin' it.
 Love this player!! November 18, 2009

I've had a Cowon D2 before. Yes, the sound was excellent, but I was tired of the software, the not-so-intuitive, not so efficient UI. I decided to give a try to Microsoft Zune's new version. I don't regret. The Zune HD is addictive! Even ITouch/ITunes looks boring compared with the elegance and smoothness of Zune software and GUI.
Since my main interest is music and video, that's just fantastic. The beautiful screen makes to watch anything a great pleasure - movies, podcast, music clips, all is crisp, colorful and bright.
As for the music experience, I was surprised by the good sound quality. You have everything very well balanced. I do not use other EQ sets, just the default and am very happy with that. And it's so nice to look at the screen while listening: the graphics are fun and beautiful - artists bio and pictures come with no extra cost or effort, even if you do not buy your music from Zune marketplace, which is my case.
I recommend to anyone who loves music and movies, great sound, graphics and navigation.
Made the switch from iPod... November 18, 2009

It's been about 2 weeks since I purchased but so far very pleased with the device. My main issue is the wireless sync, dosesn't seem to work but I believe this to be an issue with my firewall that I just haven't figured out yet. The other would be the lack of physical volume controls. It's just annoying to have to look at the display to adjust volume or change tracks. I guess after some time you can get used to it and may be able to feel out exactly where totouch but I'm just not there yet. Audio quality is great and extras such as apps seem to be increasing (if only slowly). Haven't messed with the web browser yet but that isn't important to me since I use my Blackberry for those services.
The UI is different and but took no time to get used to and I find it to be more eye catching and enjoyable than that of my iPod.
The touch interface is sensitive but I haven't made any incorrect selections as yet although others have posted differently.
Overall a beautiful device that seems very well though out.
Hopefully some good accessories will be released soon, will post later on any extras I find.
