My Zune Was A Lemon!

"Pros Everything is great on the product! I found it easy to load and work. This was my very first MP3. Cons My Zune stopped working within days. The tech support was not good, I would have to ship the product, and they would have replaced it with a refurbished product. My computer stopped recognizing the device and the device just went black! Additional Thoughts I am very unhappy!..." Read Full Review »

"First off, the Zune is pretty. It's shiny and sleek, just like in the photo. When compared to the "old" nano my friend has (not the video) it's comparatively the same size.
