Review of the Zune v2

The Zune v2 offers so many capabilities it is almost impossible to know where to start.  The first thing you will notice is the new Zune is smaller. The slimmer case is only a ½ inch thick.  It is 4.3 inches high and 2.4 inches wide.  There is a 3.2 inch LCD screen to optimize the user’s view of the videos and pod casts on their Zune.  The screen is also made of optical glass instead of plastic which means the picture is totally clear with no distortion.There are three new Zune devices offered by Microsoft.  The first is 4GB at $149.99. Zune Blog says the next one is the 8GB which runs $199.99.  The 80GB is the final one which retails at $249.99.  There really is no difference between the devices in the way they function and the features. It is interesting to note that the Zune can operate in three different languages; English, French, and Spanish.  This makes it convenient for everyone.  There are no language barriers.  When the Zune was released people wondered about the French.  Since then announcements have been made about the Zune being released in Canada.Another neat feature about this PMD is the built in FM radio.  It can be programmed for North America, Europe, or Japan broadcasts.
