Microsoft Zune 120GB (third generation, glossy black) review

By Donald Bell (cnet.com)

The 120GB Microsoft Zune MP3 player has expanded the usefulness of its Wi-Fi and social music-discovery features, added support for games and audiobooks, and maintained enviable features, such as a 3.2-inch glass LCD, friendly interface, exceptional ...

Battery life isn't great ; high-quality earbuds are no longer included ; the glossy plastic front is more prone to scratches and smudges ; and using many of the new features without a Zune Pass music subscription can be disappointing

Gone are the high-quality in-ear headphones that were included with the Zune 80.

Microsoft Zune 120GB Review

By Nick Mokey (digitaltrends.com)

The Zune offers a viable alternative to Apple's iPod, especially for those who spring for Zune Pass.

Capacity; screen size; tight software integration; interface; built in FM radio, Wi-Fi

Still not as polished as an iPod; requires monthly fee to make the most of its features

"Battery life sucks"

By cjeny01 (cnet.com)

I wanted this to work so bad because I HATE A... 

Nothing really stands out with this product. Its below average at best. Software is better then itunes but not much better. Look and feel of the interface is unappealing

Expect about 3 to 4 hours of play time only and if you charge the device and leave it for two days without using it, it will be dead when you go to use it. I have had three replacements of my original Zune ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE

"Great device for what its supposed to do..."

By Orange006 (cnet.com)

I figured I could move around large files as ... 

I like the interface both on the device and on the computer sync options can make it very conveinent. Nice screen and a fair amount of sorting and customization. 120GB insures that you wont run out of space anytime soon. Games are a nice addtion

Can not be used as an external Hard drive! had I known this i'd never have purchased the 120GB version as I know I don't have nearly enough video or music content to fill it
