Premières review : le Zune 2 mieux que l'iPod classic ?

Attention, Microsoft aurait-il réussi son pari ? Selon les premières review, le Zune 2 du géant américain est un concurrent sérieux à l'iPod classic ! Microsoft a semble-t-il supprimer un grand nombre des restrictions du premier modèle, tout en ajoutant des fonctionnalités intéressantes comme la synchronisation "over the air" via Wifi, le tout avec le logiciel/site ZuneMarketPlace qui s'est considérablement amélioré ! On espère vous réaliser un test complet prochainement.

Review de Gizmodo du Zune 8 et du nouveau Zune 30 + Market Place
Both iPod and Zune support music, video, TV Out and podcasts, but the Zune still has FM radio and it still has the Zune Pass subscription service. Add to that the convenient wireless sync, and you've got an offer that's quite tempting.

Review de Wired
Would I recommend the Zune? Yeah, I think I would. If you’re not invested in the iPod/iTunes ecosystem, it’s the most polished competitor I’ve used to date. Especially if you’re looking for a subscription service, the integration of player and service just crushes everyone else.

Review de CNET
Up until now there have ever really been any good competitors to the iPod as far as tight integration for audio and video podcast.

Review de PCMAG
We’ll just come out and say it: The 80GB Zune trumps the iPod Classic.

Review de YahooTech
Overall, I thought wireless syncing worked pretty seamlessly, and I loved being able to sync new songs and playlists over the air (why can’t the iPhone or the iPod Touch do this?)

Review de PCWorld
Microsoft’s spent a lot of time rethinking the social aspects of the Zune player, removing several restrictions, on how you can share tracks between Zune players, and adding an online community called the Zune Social.

Review de Dean Takahashi
The Zune Marketplace website looks better than iTunes because it feels less like a spreadsheet. It still uses the MTV Urge back-end but is completely redesigned.
