Zune will be launched on November 14 in the USA and as Microsoft’s first portable media player ever it’s a very interesting product. Media and consumers will be ruthless when evaluating Zune but already reports about the design and size of the player have appeared. Except from price, function and design the size is probably the most important thing for a portable music player. At Engadget they’ve posted a couple of pictures where they compare Zune prototype to a number of popular players and Zune turns out to be both higher and thicker, although the margins are not by much.
The pictures also show how big the display of Zune really is. We’re still curious to know if Apple is working on a widescreen iPod to strike back at Microsoft.
