Top 6 Things That Can Go Wrong With The Zune
Author: Stephane Dion

1. Battery Life
Battery life was a major issue when the iPod came out. Now,
they managed to have a decent playing time with most of their
models. The Zune needs to provide a battery life similar to the
iPod. We already know that both players have the same kind of
battery. What we don't know is how much power the Wi-fi and the
bigger screen are going to drain.

2. Hype around Movie Downloading
With the introduction of movie downloading at iTunes store,
Apple could create a buzz strong enough to put a shadow on the
Zune player. Microsoft already announced that they would not be
able to download movies from the Zune Marketplace anytime soon.

3. Weight
Weight is a major issue with portable devices. Even a small
fraction of an ounce can make a difference. We know that the
Zune is heavier then the iPod, but only the future will tell if
users are annoyed by that Zune "overweight". Another important
aspect is that Microsoft does not have a light version of the
Zune like the Nano or the Shuffle.

4. Ease of use
One of the key features of the iPod is the ease of use. The
seamless integration of iTunes with the iPod is certainly the
top reason why the iPod was a huge success. You don't need to
be a computer geek to use it. Zune users do not expect anything
less from the Zune player and software.

5. Prototype look & feel
Even more with the brand new design of the iPod, Zune fans are
expecting a very attractive and professional design from the
Zune. At this point, photos and videos are not enough to have a
good idea of the quality of the design.

6. File Formats
By turning their back on Playforsure, Microsoft is going
against their own fans. This is usually not a good thing! Other
formats like .aa are also not currently supported by the Zune
player.
