Has anyone seen
the 'review' on Engadget?
The guy who wrote it locked the comments section because, basically, he was being criticised by everyone...
Rather than really covering what the Zune2 is actually capable of itself, he went to great lengths to point out that some of the features such as the wi-fi connectivity are poorer than the likes of the iPhone and the Touch and criticised Microsoft, at length, for not including Mac support. At no point did he even really compare the Zune directly to the Classic, preferring, as mentioned already, to comment on how it didn't really measure up to players which it isn't even designed to compete with.
So, after a raft of negative comments about the 'review', the article has been re-named so that it doesn't include the word review in the title and the comments have been suspended because the nasty people were being nasty to him (or something like that).
So, now we're in a rather scary position, as
Walt Mossberg's review of the Zune has been met with less criticism and CNet's review is actually being touted as the fairest one available so far.
In fact, if some pro-Apple commenters on Engadget are to be believed, the Zune's review is only so positive because
'cnet is a Microsoft shill' - my how times change(!)
