So it finally has arrived, the long awaited next generation Zune. I am still waiting to get my grubby little fingers all over one of these devices, but overall I’m still awe struck by the work of Zune Originals. Since Apple plasters the back of their products with Apple logos, it really is a contrast to see such refined artwork laser etched into the back of a Microsoft product. I’ve said before, I’ve always felt a much stronger artistic / design vibe from the Zune team when compared to the iPods, it’s like comparing a sterile room with a museum.
As I figured news on the release is tepid. I’ve seen more news about the all holy camcorder slapped to an iPod and have found next to nothing in terms of reviews for the new Zune. I really wish some people would get their head pulled out of Apple’s collective ass and look at the rest of the world. The Mac OS X operating system and iPod line are not the only products in the world; they are just the most unchanged in the past decade.
I really would love to see the Zune do well as it looks like (shall see soon) another brilliant piece of hardware that in my opinion is extraordinarily underrated for nothing more that the stereotypical anti-Microsoft rhetoric.
