Amazon.com Product Description
Entertainment and sharing to go. That's the Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player. The Zune plays music and videos, displays images, and unlike the iPod, it even receives FM radio so you can stay on top of local news or sports.

The Zune experience is centered around connection--connection to your library, friends, community, and other Zunes. It's powered by software that allows users to manage files on the player, rip audio CDs, and buy from a wide selection of music and videos at the Zune Marketplace.
The Zune lets you share music and pictures with other Zune users in the area.

Zune software can find compatible music files on your PC and copy them to your Zune device.
|
Wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing lets you share your favorite tracks and photos.
|
Browse more than 100,000 artist bios and hundreds of playlists in the Zune Marketplace.
|
The Zune is a 30 GB digital media player, but there's a twist. You can wirelessly share selected full-length sample tracks, playlists, pictures, or your own home-grown tunes directly from Zune to Zune (within 30 feet). You can listen to the full-length songs that you receive up to three times in three days, flag the ones you love, and easily buy them the next time you sync up--its like test-driving songs before you purchase an album.
The Zune's navigation is simple and intuitive with a scroll wheel and basic buttons, and the big, bright screen makes it easy to browse music and show off your favorite pictures and videos. This attractive, smart device stores up to 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 100 hours of video. Get creative. Make playlists on the go and watch slide shows while you're listening. And if you're watching video on the Zune, you'll be pleased with the landscape mode that allows you to get the most out of the vivid display.
Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Don't forget the primary principle of the Zune: sharing. With this device in hand you're holding an opportunity to share music and photos wirelessly from one Zune to another. Send your favorite tracks or images to your friends, or just about anyone with a Zune that's within your reach.
Whether you're walking down the street, in a room with a bunch of friends, at a concert, at the airport, or on the bus, you can whip out your Zune and see all the other Zune devices that surround you. In the blink of an eye you're connected to your best friend and you can send over your band's newest song. Another friend might get the hilarious podcast your little brother made at school, plus that hot new song you just downloaded from the Zune Marketplace. And, of course, there's all the good stuff that your friends want to send back your way. The connections are made and the Zune community grows.
Best of all, the song you sent (or received) isn't a short 30-second preview--it's the whole song. Your friend can sample the song up to three times in three days, flag it on their device and then buy it from the Zune Marketplace. You can send pictures, too. If you loved the photo of your dog at the park and you just have to share it with your buddies, shoot it off to whoever is around. And any pictures that are sent or received can be kept and viewed indefinitely.
Sometimes you don't want to be noticed, and the Zune allows you to fly under the radar. All you need to do is turn the wireless function off, or adjust the privacy settings to control whether people can see you are online. And if you want to keep your Zune private while studying in the library or reading the newspaper on the bus, you can also block Zune devices in wireless range from sending you a song.
Zune Marketplace
Zune makes it easy to find music you love--whether it's songs in your existing library or new music from the Zune Marketplace. You can easily import your existing music, pictures, and videos in many popular formats from your PC and browse millions of songs at the Zune Marketplace where you can purchase individual tracks or buy a Zune Pass subscription to download as many songs as you want for a flat fee. Plus, you can apply Microsoft Points towards the purchase of music so you can buy online without a credit card for added security. At the Zune Marketplace you can read over 100,000 artist biographies and features from leading magazines including XLR8R, NME, and FADED, and you'll have easy access to Billboard Charts, including Billboard 200, Hot 100 Songs, and more. You'll even be able to browse what people in the Zune community are listening to by checking out the Zune Charts.
Pre-Loaded Content
Zune is a vehicle to explore new sounds and share entertainment experiences. With that in mind, the Zune comes pre-loaded with a variety of songs and videos from hot, new artists, as well as some fun films and images. With something for everyone, the pre-loaded Zune content may help you discover your new favorite band, but at the very least you'll have some entertainment at your fingertips so you can start connecting and sharing. Zune pre-loaded content includes loads of audio tracks, music videos, and film shorts, plus 12 classic rock posters from "Art of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion."

Great Price and Shipped Before Christmas--Thanks!.......2007-12-27
What a great deal on a great competitor to the over-priced iPod. Although the product was priced for shipping after Christmas, it arrived two weeks early!! How often does that happen?!? Microsoft is continuing to work out the remainder of the quirks with protected media, but I think that will be solved soon.
GREAT MP3.......2007-12-27
Just recently received this, and it has been working great. Better product than we thought.
Worst Product Ever.......2007-12-26
This product started out great at the beggining but when the software was downloaded it began to mess up my computer! now my whole computer is dis-colored and screwed up! i completely recomend that you do NOT get this product. such a waste!
Good hardware, bad software.......2007-12-26
I recently got a 30 Gb zune for Christmas and have encountered numerous situations both good and bad. The Zune itself is a nice little player, it looks great with a very easy to use system. The sound quality is good, the option to set pictures as a background is always fun, and the screen is beautiful. The only downside is microsofts annoying habit of including vital system operations in the memory, so you actually only get approximately 29.5 Gb, no big deal. All in all this looks like a great little device, but as soon as you connect to your PC (and you must) it turns devilish.
The first thing you may notice is that as soon as its plugged in, either to charge or to set music, you can't listen to it. While plugged in it is completely useless. Sure, I can overlook this feature. Then you start with the software, holy cow the software.
The Zune software will have to update itself about a zillion times before you can use it. Then when its ready to use, you must 'sync' anything you want with your Zune. Of course this process is imperfect specifically if you're trying to re-sync something for the purposes of organization. Of course the worst part is the complete inability to organize your own collection. The Zune probably takes pride in doing this for you, unfortunately pride is only one of its sins.
It can't seem to get any albums or artists right, particularly if its from any source other than zune marketplace. The result is lots of songs organized under "unknown artist" or "various artists" when you know there's only one artist and who it is. Then it will probably break up your album into 5 or 6 "unknown albums" and assign it an arbitrary cover art from some other place in the software. Finally, the coup de grace, you can't manually input album or artist information for individual songs. So, you're finally stuck with either tons of unknowns or grouping them into awkward groups that don't have anything to do with each other.
Unfortunately, this makes the clever menu system on the Zune itself completely bogged down with tons of random and incorrect information. You have to wade through the forest of menu to reach the correct "unknown album" for you particular song.
Typical microsoft: Good hardware, terrible software. Its too bad, cause I really liked the thing initially.
What a bargain!.......2007-12-26
I couldn't believe the deal I got on this 30GB Zune! It was cheaper than the sale prices on the 4GB in discount stores! What's even better is that it was exactly what my son wanted and I saved a bundle.

The ones to use.......2007-12-21
I think these mini-dvd-rw's are the best way to go when using on a cam-corder. There is no need to finalize the dvd'd if you ant to preview them on the tv or computer. The best thing is that you can use them over and over. Why I didn't give them a 5 star review is that there is only space for 30 minutes of record time so you better keep some back-ups with you.
Excellent.......2007-11-30
I might have used this DVD for 6-7 times, little did the quality changed.
Its worth the money.
Sony DVD+RW for camcorders.......2007-11-29

Warning: Does not work with Canon DC50 Camcorder.......2007-10-11
If you own a Canon Camcorder be forewarned that these disc's won't work in the Canon DC50 series mini dvd camcorders. The regular Sony DVD-R are kind of temperamental with the Canon camcorders as well (But fine if you are in pinch). I'll have to figure out what to do with these disc's now.
works fine in my sony minidv cam.......2007-05-22

Peerless ST650P Tilting Wall Mount 32"-50".......2007-12-27
Bought two of these for 46" LCDs. Heavy Duty and very secure once mounted. Two considerations. Plug in all connections to tv before hanging on bracket. Need small hands to adjust manual thumbscrews for tilting.Looks great on the wall.
Easy Install, yet Disappointing Tilt.......2007-12-27
I bought this wall mount for my Sony Bravia 46" LCD, which I also purchased at Amazon. It was an easy install using the enclosed hardware and following the directions. Didn't take long before it was up.
The description stated tilting wall mount, so I bought it instead of the regular one, which was a little cheaper. I guess I should have read the description more thoroughly. It only tilts downward at a very slight angle, but more upwward. I would assume that most people tilt downward, as they probably hang them above fireplaces, etc. Therefore, I was hoping (assumed) to have a bit more tilt.
I'm not dissatisfied whatsoever with the product. But I could have paid less with the same result. Overall it was a good purchase.
Great Mount for Sharp Aquos.......2007-12-25
The mount worked very well. It was easy to install and had great instructions which covered every possible configuration.
Compared to the overly expensive models at the retail stores in my area this price could not be beat.
Great Bracket for your Flat Panel.......2007-12-25
I installed this bracket in about 2 hrs. with my dad's help. I put a 32" Sharp Aquos on it. It was really easy to get on the wall and then place the LCD panel on it. The only thing I regret is that it doesn't allow me to get to the back of my unit without having to uninstall it. Luckily all my component and HDMI slots were used up, so now when I get a new item, I just replace it with whatever I'm discarding.
Good Mount.......2007-12-25
I bought this to go with my Toshiba 47HL167 LCD TV. It hooks up easily, comes with an amazing number of bolts so it can hook up to any TV; but they are separated in nice little pouches so finding what you need is easy. It attaches to a stud wall with 4 screws and installation is quick.
This is the only mount I've used, but I can't see what a $150 mount would offer you. So long as it doesn't crash off the wall - that's really all you need. It also pivots but I set mine vertical.
The hardest part was deciding where to mount it. I used blue painters tape to layout a 'TV' on the wall and looked at it from lots of angles, chairs, sofas, etc. My first inclination was to go too high, I found that was uncomfortable on the neck. Final TV center height is 50". This is comfortable to look at from a chair, but also high enough to view while laying on a couch (and looking above your feet). But your room and furniture will be different - so try the "tape" TV for 30 minutes of so.

Not for Seniors.......2007-12-26
If you can do text messaging on a cell phone, you can probably operate this remote. You also need good close vision. This remote is a slippery unit that is hard to hold and operate. It takes two hands and even then is difficult. Unless you have 20/20 vision, you can't read any of the touch keys. Once you find the one you want, it's hard to press the right button as you need very small fingers or long fingernails. It took me 7 hours to program and it still won't shut off my direct tv unit. The problem with the Direct TV unit is that there are several manufactures and you don't know which one built your unit. Therefore, you have to do a learning remote exercise facing one to the other. Each time I did this, it gave me new codes but none of them shut off the unit. The other problem is the one touch button only works when the units you want to activate are turned off. When I load a disc into my blueray player, it turns the unit on. Then I have to turn it off to use the remote. It does work through wood doors so I have to give it a couple of stars.
Wife Proof Remote.......2007-12-26
My wife has a hard time trying to figure out all of the remotes we have. There is one for the satellite receiver, the HD DVD player, the Blu-ray player, the HD TV, and the surround sound receiver. With this remote all my wife has to do is push a button and what ever she is trying to do happens. One key and everything turns on or off depending on what she is trying to do.
Prepare for HOURS of Frustration!.......2007-12-22
I have had many universal remotes, but none as bad as this one! I write computer software for a living, but the complexity of using this terrible piece of junk is unbelievable. Get ready to spend hours and hours sitting in front of your computer setting this up. Hours of time on the phone to technical support as they explain how do download more firmware updates, and how to go through detailed processes to get the wireless extender to work. Then, even when it works at all, the digital readout is hard to see and you'll have dozens of useless commands for all your devices to page through. For example, just to turn my receiver on or off, I had to page down through SIX pages of commands! Can you tailor all those and get this eventually to work? Maybe. But do you really have an entire work's week of your life to spend on a remote? The universal that comes with my Onkyo works to control the other devices just fine. Total time to set it up -- about 15 minutes. I suggest you move on to a different remote.
difficult.......2007-12-22
The Logitech 890 is very difficult to set up. When you speak to a tech via the telephone, the tech has broken english and is difficult to understand. The purchase of this item was not worth my effort. Look for a better remote.
Great Remote, much better than the 880.......2007-12-17
I had an 880 for 3 weeks then returned it because of IR range issue's. While the 890 may look like the 880 it is a totaly different remote in terms of IR range and stability. The 880 had a very narrow IR beam that was only reliable at 10-12ft while the 890 has about twice the range and a much wider angle. The 880 had a well known bug in the tilt sensor mechanism and charging cradle but the 890 does not have either of these problems. Couple those pluses along with the RF module and it is a much better value than the 880.

Good Sound, but no mp3?!?!.......2007-12-26
Ok, I got this bluetooth as a christmas gift. I always wanted to get a bluetooth, but can not decide which one to get. It was pretty easy to set up my bluetooth and connect with my sony ericsson w580i. It works pretty good, i could hear my friend clearly, and vice versa. The only problem is one it gets irratating sometimes(there are also times i forget that its there) and another problem would be it does not connect my mp3 with it. My friend has the same bluetooth but a nokia 5300 and it plays her songs through the bluetooth. I am not as statisfy as i thought i would be since i finally got a bluetooth. I am thinking about getting another one. which do you guys recommend?
