Just going to give a quick run down on notable points from my experience.(- for bad. + for good)
-Radio reception is not that great. It is picking up on too much interference for me.
-Browser is terrible. Not much of a big deal as I didn't plan on browsing on it. Will use my iPhone for that.
+Zune Pass is just great. Finding an album in the Marketplace and just right clicking the art and choosing Sync To Device is, well, great.
+Audio quality is really good. Really is better than any iProduct I have used.
+The screen really is beautiful when viewing videos on it.
-/+The main UI feels too 'busy' to me. But everyones sense of aesthetic is different so your mileage may vary.
+One good thing about the music UI is being able to pull up extra information about the artist and pictures. I would like to see a little more done with that though. Perhaps interview videos (maybe some albums do this?). And how about lyrics?
-/+Smart DJ. Not as accurate as the iTunes Genius in my experience so far. But this I assume will get better as more people use it. I have more non mainstream tastes though so this could be a factor as well.
+Smart DJ and Zune Pass together. Now this is awesome. Make a Smart DJ playlist and it will pull music from the Marketplace as well as your collection.
-Weight. I think it feels too light. Could use a little weight. I know that seems strange to want something to be heavier, but it always feels like I am about to drop it.
All in all a really great media player. Microsoft needs to not get sloppy and just sit on their hands doing nothing to improve the device via software updates if they want to give the iPod Touch a run for it's money. MS has really done much better in their consumer products lately so I have hope I will see some really nice updates down the road.Get more detail about Zune HD 32 GB Video MP3 Player (Platinum).
