A Look At The New 4GB Zune Player

A Look At The New 4GB Zune Player
by Lloyd Burns

The 4GB Zune is the latest addition to the earlier models of the Zune player. It is an alternate to customers who want to spend less or don’t want too much storage place or at time want a sleek and small player. It is cheaper than the original 30GB player. And its dimensions are: 3.6” height x 1.63” width and 0.33” depth, its viewing screen is also smaller at 1.8”. 4GB models might seem smaller in storage space than the 8, 30 and 80GB models. It can store around 1000 songs at 128kbs or nearly 25,000 Jpeg pictures or even about 12 hours of video at 512kbs playback speed. Wow! Things have changed over the years my 1992 model laptop had only 40 space, which is 100 times smaller than the 4GB Zune player.
This model comes in many colors and also has ear bud headphones and covers bundled with the player. But the charger for the inbuilt battery does not come with the player; it has to be bought separately. The Zune unlike the iPod has a built-in FM player in all its models. AAC, Mp3, WMA, Protected WMA (audio) and WMV (video) formats are the only formats which the Zune player supports.
This 4GB model is really sleek and small and it is a real cheap buy. 2 of its main disadvantages are the video viewing area and the regular download and upload of files from the computer. Browsing has become really easy on this player due to its new touch pad design. And if you have a wireless network at home then you don’t even need to connect the Zune to the computer, you can straight away transfer files through the wireless function of the Zune just like in all other Zune players. The Zune Marketplace is an amazing site from where you can download music, movies, videos and a lot other downloads. Downloading files is an easy method here, either through Microsoft points or other online media providers or member sites. The Marketplace regularly keeps updating their play list. They also provide biographies of artists and stories from top music and video online magazines.
All the new features of new Zune models gives the buyers a better choice on the products they buy. Choice is what people look for and the 4GB model gives certain buyers a blend of portability, size, easy use, looks and all the features to die for and this in just one player.
