"Microsoft's Zune is a slick piece of hardware. It's a worthy competitor to the iPod that surpasses its rival in some surprising ways, like the interface, which is drop-dead fantastic," according to Wired's Cult of Mac man Leander Kahney. Some sample comments:
I've been playing with a Zune for a couple of weeks, and I like it. I like it a lot.
The Zune's interface impressed me the most: It's much slicker and easier to use than the iPod's.
The Zune's navigation scheme is also better-designed and easier to use.
The Zune is much more intuitive.
The screen is absolutely gorgeous.
Comment: It's not all praise, of course -- no one thinks Zune is perfect -- but the quality of the interface has been noted by other Mac fans including The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg ("the Zune player and software have a very good user interface, different from, but in some cases easier to use than, the iPod's"). I wonder if it's a sign that we might be moving from the clueless idiot style of Zune reviewing to a more balanced approach?
