For anyone looking to exit Apple's ecosystem, the Zune 120GB stands as an attractive option. For the same price as you'd pay for the iPod, you get the same amount of storage plus the bonus of FM radio and a larger screen. And if you don't mind paying $15 per month for a Zune Pass...

Nice review by Gizmodo. The site doesn't actually review the device, rather it links to 6 reviews from PCMag, CNET, PCWorld, Wired, Yahoo Tech, Dean Takahashi (whoever that is.)
Read the full review →The Zune 120, with a unique focus on music discovery, is a fierce competitor to the iPod Classic. The Zune's substantial storage capacity combined with its Zune Pass music subscription makes it an ideal solution for restless music fans with large appetites.
Read the full review →The new Zune 120 currently comes only in all black where as the 80 is currently available in red/silver and flat black/gold. Colors and styles are always subjective but I personally think that the new all black look many times better than the previous gold and silver backing.

The Zune 80 remains my favorite hard drive-based media player - other than its sibiling, the Zune 120. While the hardware is solid, the screen could have used a higher resolution. The extra features (e.g. FM radio, wireless syncing, etc.) that the Zune 80 packs in when compared to the iPod...

[ORIGINAL REVIEW - SCROLL DOWN FOR THE MORE RECENT REVIEW]: Everything about this product is amazing. First of all the hardware is beautiful, and the software is very visual and majestic looking. If you're not looking for ascetics, the Z80 still has you covered. The UI is extremely easy to use...

The addition of the touchpad over the original interface is excellent, plenty of storage. I never go anywhere without this device. For all it's splendor, however, the downside of the touchpad is that it can also be picky when determining if you pressed up or pressed in the center for a...

Yes Zune is like an iPod when you compare the two and we are not talking iPod Touch here though Zune HD answers that comparison the two have identical features and the Zune goes a step further having the somewhat pointless FM radio. The Zune software provides those who love music with an easy...

All things considered I really liked the way the UI functioned, I sold my Zune 120 and replaced it with an iPod nano, which I have since sold as I cannot stand the way the UI functions and I despise iTunes. I will most likely be buying another Zune 120 before they are all gone.

Great player for taking lots of movies or music on a long trip. I would like more media support and a video library filing system.

If you are in the market for a hard drive based player with 80+ GB of space, then get this mp3 player. Only works with the Zune software, which is Windows only.
