Regardless of your opinion of Microsoft, was surprised by the fact that every time you update Zune software update includes a free for all Zunes nearly identical, that the new Zunes. I am sure that one day it may be due to the fact that the new equipment requires a different type of operating system that does not work on the old Zunes (ie hint Zune, or something). Before that I was really happy past / present Zune owner for this reason.
I have owned Zune 30 for 2 1 / 2 years before to buy Zune 120 My old Zune worked perfectly and did not factor in my decision to upgrade. I do not need extra space? Not quite ... but I would try to touch / click "squircle" to the new Zune games. I have read that some games might not work (or on a schedule), with the Zune 30 because it has no touch. Let's see how true that when the games on the market.
My own opinion, Zune 120 in a couple of weeks:
Good:
I am rabid / avid fan of Zune Pass, I have no problem rent music, I love it. I'm really open to new bands without the $ 10-20 for the album I hate. For $ 14.99 per month [for unlimited downloads of up to 3 Zunes and 3 Computer] Can not download songs more than I can understand, but not when you give me some sound deaf artists along the way. If I create an album enough to save what can I buy a Zune or Amazon or to whom. If you think about the Zune Pass, you can send money through the free, the band, before you buy. Even if you raise a house, or visiting, you can download music for your guests, you might never buy for themselves.
Sound support is currently not available. Do not know how to use this feature, but now I do like, and I am glad that I did not shut down because of this opportunity.
WiFi: the options are now amazingly more advanced and is now on Zune WiFi sense. The ability to download songs over the WiFi connection is very good. McDonald's with their Zune and Wi-Fi connection to Zune owners in the near future. Although the IPod, which is incompatible with the Starbucks, there is much more than McDonalds and Starbucks in the U.S. Though not sure if it's a good thing;)
Channels!: I love the new channel in the software. As a Zune Pass subscriber, I want to use. The program allows you to "feed" once a week to think about the songs I love in the genre (I have a "My Classic Rock" channel, "My Rock" channel, and from which I share my Zune Pass with family members, "My R And B channel). I choose, if any, channels you subscribe to (so that you can use the R and B "in case, if you wish), and upload a playlist rate that changes weekly. Also, I have an opportunity to other general (eg, "Rock" channel ", Punk / Ska" Channel, etc.) are not suitable for me directly, if they so wished. It was a good way to sample new bands and music, in which my music. Of course, if you like the song / artist can always be forever to download songs. If you're greedy fitness enthusiast or runner, there are some very cool channel called "The Walk" "regulator" and "Run" on the verses of the same number of beats per minute, moving around at constant speed. Very nice .
-Mixview: Much better, "Genius" from the album on iTunes Mixview with art and artists in the old photos and text of the proposal Mixview, as important to me that the Apple "Genius." This may change in the future as each product is developed, and I am thrilled that there is competition in this area, since it can only be better and better. If you do not know what it Mixview, Zune is a way of gathering data on preferences in music (and the preferences of others) to recommend new music for you. Pandora (website internet radio) is a beautiful work. It is free, and I want to make sure that never before. Amazing.
Battery: much better than the Zune 30, which is a pleasant surprise. WiFi go longer on battery power.
Support for accessories: charger, dock, remote, car charger, etc. from the Zune 30/80/120 work together beautifully. If you have version 1 for the plastic dock inserts of 80/120. It only takes a few seconds, and very painful. I would like to add a link to the web sites that show video how to do this, but Amazon removed two posts in the Zune forum where I did. Otherwise, there is a search. Cases for Zune 30 does not work with 120 and 80 of the same size and with the same cases. I've heard that there are problems with the FM transmitter with the new Zunes. Do not know what the problem is often that I am in the car AUX decisions.
-In Squircle: This is only the "big" difference between 30 and Zune 80/120. It will not take long for me to handle, but my training may be shorter than others, but I have to crawl on my iPhone, and then now it seems difficult for me. (You can disable this feature if you only want to use the press as squircle pad.) If I make it, I noticed that most of the cases mentioned in squircle and is concerned that the fair with functionality. I reported that the ability of Zune service to my movements. However, if you're not as smooth as the act only squircle (I have a silicone coating that my finger "sheets" in the front part, the flight is not so smooth). What do you think about when buying the case (which I recommend to see .. "bad")
Bad:
"I loved the Zune 30 casing. This was pleased that the Zune has a IPod. IPod showed scratches and wear out very quickly and the Zune 30 houses virtually indestructible. With a new business (in the front and rear of the economy ... reverse mullet) it seems that opportunities for scratching is now higher. glossy front fingerprint magnet and the matte black back to the silver / gold for the metal (eg, Microsoft Zune Originals Web site, where you can use your Zune engraved professionally .. that "nothing" [covered] the design and gold / silver as the color). Do not know how deep you like, that the flowers to zero, and I will not volunteer to guinea pigs. sorry!
I always recommend to do, and I am a fool, a screen protector as the Zune is almost all windows in the front and still nice and new.
"I do not care" / "no opinion":
To-The-clock: clock is now .. and I do not care. Many of them with pleasure. There is no built-in alarm, to watch lovers. (Microsoft updates the firmware and software for the bit, so you never know, could it be added shortly.)
Buy-FM: I do not know how the radio in my town. There are only a few decent seasons, but they are not good enough for me to stop listening and tune in MP3 files for those who are better in the Top 40, or What's new in the letter, which is a major opportunity for them. According to artist and album information from the FM radio Zune might be helpful if your DJ never states the name of (as many do not) and if you like the song, you can download it immediately or days later to download (depending of whether you're in a WiFi Hotspot in a house or a fork in his hand).
Headphones: The Zune comes with a 30 "running the mill" headphones Zune comes with a 80 "premium" headphones and the Zune 120 is back in "startup" mill "headphones. The use of third-party programs, headphones ($ 100 +), so that you are not that is contained in the package. Others, perhaps, so here it is.
Games: from today, not a game available for download at the Zune Marketplace. It should, however, will change soon, and I hope so. However, there are two games on the shoulders of Zune to connect to a computer and update (Hexic and Texas Hold 'Em). Apple has an advantage here did, and asked App Store. I hope that Microsoft takes and does something with the Zune. Heck, I hope that something even better than Apple is stepping up his game even more ... around, and we are going. Competition is good for the consumer.
I think this is a good place to say that I love my 3G iPhone and my Zune, and I am in my life to be happy (in the materialistic sense). I listen to music on my iPhone, because the limited space (after the application, photos, podcasts, etc. There is not much room for music), but also because Apple does not have a music subscription "rental services. Ideally, I I want Zune phone is similar to the iPhone or iPhone to a music-subscription service (both phone have a great potential of the block) in one device (like iPhone or ZunePhone after the call). Up until today I live in harmony with the Zune 120 and my iPhone 3G.
