Today, I had an opportunity to listen to a few songs and a radio station on the Zune here at the
Microsoft Campus in Seattle.
All Zune colors were present, brown, white (or off-white) and black. The brown design was by far my favorite color of the three.
I had expected the player to be fairly heavy, but after holding the Zune in my hand it was clear that I was wrong. It is not as light as the latest video iPod, but compared to my fourth-generation iPod, the Zune was lighter. The top of the Zune had a clear glass layer while the exterior had a tactile feel to it, nothing like the hard metal and plastic of the iPod devices. The ‘skin’ of the Zune was a ‘rubberized’ material that had a smooth seductive feel to it. I found myself unable to stop stroking the device, so much that the demo assistant asked me to put it down.
