A little Zune action
Wondering how video looks on a Zune? How about a video of a Zune playing video?
The interface looks pretty nifty to me, and the 3-inch screen is pretty roomy for playing video. The thumb controls look a little awkward compared to the iPod wheel, but maybe it just takes some getting used to.
The Zune seems to download pictures via WiFi pretty quickly, but I'd like to know how long it takes to transfer a song from one Zune to another.
Speaking of WiFi, Cesar Menendez over at the Zune Insider Blog is part of the Zune team, and he has a few answers to frequently asked questions, including this one:
"I made a song. I own it. How come, when I wirelessly send it to a girl I want to impress, the song has 3 days/3 plays?" Good question. There currently isn't a way to sniff out what you are sending, so we wrap it all up in DRM. We can't tell if you are sending a song from a known band or your own home recording so we default to the safety of encoding. And besides, she'll come see you three days later. . .
Unfortunately Cesar doesn't have answers to the really big questions of the day, like how much will it cost, and when will it be released?
