A typhoon named Weipa blew the Microsoft Zune back and forth, landing it in a place where rare items are sold at high prices. Even though iPod has released its new Classic version, it absolutely cannot compare to the stunning entrance of this Microsoft Zune into the market. Many people have not had the chance to personally experience the taste of the Microsoft Zune, the arch-nemesis of the iPod. So let us carefully appreciate the charm of this sole Microsoft Zune below.
Microsoft Zune
Microsoft has been resolute in its pursuit to catch up with the iPod. However, judging from the mere 1 million sales momentum in the past two years, the road ahead is still long. The store manager placed this Microsoft Zune in the upper corner of the counter, hidden under an array of Apple accessories, making it hard to spot at first glance.

Gently opening the packaging, the dark green bulky body of the Microsoft Zune suddenly catches the eye. Its large size of 112x61x14.7mm, along with a weight of 158g, gives an overwhelming sense of solidity and stability.

Besides the bulky figure of the Microsoft Zune, what left the deepest impression was undoubtedly its 3-inch large screen. Compared to the iPod video, the screen of the Microsoft Zune appears much more generous. With a resolution of 3 inches at 320*240, it matches the current mainstream video resolution.

The sturdy build of the Microsoft Zune is one of its major features, looking like a solid brick whether viewed horizontally or vertically. However, despite being slightly cumbersome, this model offers relatively comprehensive functionality.

The Microsoft Zune once launched a pink version, but we couldn't find its presence in the store. Recently, only one unit of the classic edition Microsoft Zune arrived, making it inconvenient for testing. Therefore, we can only gain some understanding through its appearance. Whether to choose Apple or Microsoft depends on personal preference. However, owning a Microsoft Zune domestically is definitely a stylish choice, so those interested should act quickly.

The US price for the Microsoft Zune is $199 for the 30GB version, while the sole unit available in Shanghai's Pacific Plaza is priced at RMB 2300, which is roughly equivalent to the discontinued 30GB video version, making the pricing reasonable.
