Zune

By rss@youtube.com (vindication84) This is a parody of the iPhone 3g ads by Apple. I show off the horribleness that is Zune's onboard marketplace. Don't get me wrong.. I love the zune and have one. I prefer it over the iPod. But, I thought this would be funny. Consider this a first draft. I may post a better quality one up later.

By rss@youtube.com (MediaPupil) Maybe you might be thinking twice about snagging free songs on the Internet. Maybe you would like to get better quality than what Windows Movie Maker is giving you. Or maybe, you just want more songs than just the iTunes free single of the week (which usually is only an indie single). This video...

By frysoft Overall, there's more good than bad to be found in the Zune 3.0 Fall Update. Picks and FM Tagging are neat, but picks are not a new idea, and the Tagging is a bit rough around the edges.
