I posted my first impressions a couple of days ago and will post my thoughts after more usage when my FC Sounders customized blue Zune Original arrives, which should be next week. Some other reviews I recommend you check out as you try to figure out if the Zune HD is for you are the following:
- Mobile Tech Review
- CNET TV (video review)
- Engadget
- Gizmodo
- David Pogue
- Andy Ihnatko
- Michael Gartenberg
- SlashGear
- PC Magazine
- WM Experts
- Brighthand
- Zune Thoughts (There are several videos on this site too.)
- Mobility Minded
As I first pointed out, and others also later picked up on, there are pre-roll still and video ads in the 7 free games. I also compared the web browser to the latest Internet Explorer Mobile 6 browser and the browser limitations were pointed out in most of the reviews.
It seemed that even die-hard Apple fans appreciated the user interface and hardware of the Zune HD, but some still don't see the value in the Zune device.
Do you know of any other Zune reviews I should include in my list?
