Microsoft Zune is closing up on its launch quite fast now. We will see Microsoft’s first mobile media player in the middle of next month and now 2old2play has published a review of the player after that the writer had the opportunity to play around with it during a Microsoft demonstration. He goes through the interface and the player’s different functions and is able to supply a quite nice picture of what the player will be like during your actual everyday use. From what we can tell it seems to be a surprisingly mature product, especially considering the strong connection between Zune, Xbox 360 and Microsoft’s passport.
“Clicking on artists causes a list of albums to display on the top of the interface. Clicking on an album will then display a list of songs and the top of the UI will list the band’s albums. Anytime you want to go back, just click on the back button. The album art is large, filling the whole display. The current position of the song is displayed by a white dot with an aura on a white line.”
