Hands-on with Zune Originals HD designs
The Zune Originals online store offers tons of colors and etching designs for the Zune HD.You’ve held your tongue through all the Apple iPod propaganda. Resisted the temptation to put a stock, 32GB MP3-players/zune-hd-32gb-platinum/4505-6490_7-33665869.html”>Zune HD on pre-order. You’ve scrimped and saved and patiently waited until the day when you could order your own unique blue, green, red, custom-etched, deluxe-packaged Zune Originals Zune HD.
Well, dear Zune-ster, that day has come. As of September 15, you can now log onto the Zune Originals online store and design your very own dream Zune HD. Beyond the two capacity options (16GB and 32GB), and five colors (black, platinum, green, blue, and red), you also get access to more than 50 etchings and the ability to inscribe your own personal message.
The downside to the whole Zune Originals option is that you’re paying full price for your Zune HD, plus a few dollars more for some designs, and of course, there’s shipping. But hey, what’s a few extra bucks when it comes to letting your iPod-avoiding freak flag fly?
To get a better sense of the colors and designs available from Zune Originals, check out our hands-on photo gallery.

iPod Nano 5G review: Jack-of-all-trades
When it comes to camcorders, I won’t be abandoning my Flip anytime soon. But that doesn’t make the iPod Nano any less attractive. The more camera-having gadgets, the merrier.
(Credit: Donald Bell/CNET)
The MP3-players/apple-ipod-nano-fifth/4505-6490_7-33770795.html?tag=nefdprod.rev”>official CNET review of the fifth-generation iPod Nano is done, and I am officially exhausted. Someone please tell Apple to stop adding features to this thing. Remember when all an MP3 player to do was play music? CNET’s first iPod review was only 600 words long. These days, you practically have to write a textbook to cover all the features that get crammed into a device like the iPod Nano.
An extra 0.2-inch really does make a noticeable difference when you’re dealing with screens this small.
(Credit: Donald Bell/CNET)
Writer’s exhaustion aside, the fifth-generation Nano is a fantastic little gadget that’s one of the easiest-to-recommend stocking stuffers out there. The thing comes in a ton of colors, works with iTunes, helps you lose weight (pedometer), and might even get you to record the world’s next completely unnecessary viral YouTube sensation. Sure, the earbuds are still garbage, but Sony seems to be the only manufacturer MP3-players/sony-x-series-walkman/4505-6490_7-33485025.html?tag=nefdprod.rev”>fighting that battle.
To prevent from boring you to tears, one area of the iPod Nano’s performance I didn’t go into exhaustive detail over is the video camera’s image quality. If you’re curious, I ran a few of tests over the weekend, shooting indoors and outdoors, and A/B testing the Nano against the Flip UltraHD. Aside from the obvious image quality differences, I also found problems with the Nano’s tilt-sensor getting tripped-up on the camera’s orientation and capturing videos sideways. Editing programs will often be smart enough to reorient the video automatically, but the glitch shows just one more way where a dedicated camcorder like the Flip gets things right.
Comparing the $199 Flip UltraHD video capture quality (left) to the $149 iPod Nano’s (right). Click to enlarge.
(Credit: Donald Bell/CNET)
Still, minor complaints aside, the Nano is still an exceptional itty-bitty do-it-all gadget for the price. You really have to take the Nano’s camcorder with a grain of salt. It is, after all, an MP3 player. But if video recording tests really float your boat, former CNET-er Tim Moynihan has an comprehensive comparison of pocket camera and iPod Nano video tests. Otherwise, check out my rated review of the fifth-generation Apple iPod Nano by heading on over to MP3-players/apple-ipod-nano-fifth/4505-6490_7-33770795.html”>CNET Reviews.

6 Things You Didn’t Know About the Zune
With a huge screen, excellent audio quality (complimented by outstanding earbuds), FM radio and support for multiple audio and video codecs, the Redmond, Wash.-based giants are hoping many will put the two competing products side-by-side and choose in favour of the Zune.
But if you know someone who already owns a Zune, you’re probably aware of the device’s attractive display, well-balanced audio and built-in radio, which is also great at the gym by listening to a TV broadcast. Oh, Zune owners can now “tag” a song they hear on the radio and purchase a CD-quality version at a later time (only in the U.S. at this time, however).
Here are a few things — and impressive ones at that — about the Zune you probably aren’t aware of.
1. Games and books, oh my!
The latest Zune software (version 3.0) now lets you play games while on the go. In fact, you’ll start with two freebies included with the latest downloadable firmware update: Hextic and Texas Hold ‘Em. The Zune will also let you multitask so you can play a game and listen to your favourite tunes, podcasts or an audiobook at the same time! Speaking of audiobooks, Zune owners can now sync books from the huge library of titles at audible.com or overdrive.com.
2. Sharing is good
When you’re in the same room as another Zune listener – and it doesn’t matter if they own a Flash- or hard drive-based model – you can wirelessly beam them a song you like, which the recipient can listen to up to three times on their Zune. This is a great way to be exposed to new music. No wonder why Microsoft’s tagline for the Zune is “welcome to the social.”
3. Wireless sync
iPod owners are used to connecting their player to a PC to transfer over media. For some, this can be a laborious process if it involves connecting a USB cord to the back of a computer (perhaps under a desk), and you might need to unplug an existing USB device first. So long as you have a wireless network, you can automatically synchronize your Zune player with your PC when you step in the door.
4. It’s in the cards
On the free Zune Social, which is Zune’s online music community, you can easily create and customize a Zune Card. What’s that, you ask? No, these aren’t Zune-branded playing cards. These online cards can be embedded on various social networking sites, such as Facebook, as well as blogs or other websites, where it will automatically update to show others what they are listening to.
5. X(box) marks the spot
Xbox 360 owners who want to change up their favourite video game’s soundtrack can play their own music stored on a connected Zune – whether it’s by attaching the media player to the console via its USB cord (included) or if you have a Wi-Fi network and a Xbox 360 wireless network adaptor, you can wirelessly configure your Zune to play on your Xbox 360 (as a soundtrack or simply to use your TV/stereo speakers).
6. All the music you can handle
While it’’s not available in Canada – yet – the Zune Marketplace is the online store to purchase music for your Zune player. Sure, you can download tracks one at a time, as you can with Apple’s iTunes, but this service also offers something called a Zune Pass ($15/month) which lets you fill up your Zune to the max with thousands of songs. In other words, you choose whether you want to consume your tunes a la carte or in an all-you-can-eat buffet style!
