More Microsoft Zune news for you to take in. GearLive.com has posted a video of an interview they conducted with a Zune beta tester at the Podcast Media Expo. For those of you unable to view the video, here are the highlights from the beta tester:

  • Yes it’s a beta version of the player
  • A quote from the tester – “It’s pretty neat .. I’ve actually been enjoying it quite a bit” (yes he does not work for Microsoft!)
  • Magnetic headphones allowing them to stay together and not get tangled up
  • FM reception is ok
  • Definitely a variation of the Portable Media Center UI
  • Scrolling seems faster than the PMC in Toshiba Gigabeat S
  • Zune sharing – can select a single song or an entire album to share via wireless
  • Thinks it’s possible to sync with a Windows Media Center system for recorded television shows but he’s not sure
  • Not as excited about the Zune Marketplace
  • BROWN IS HOT! The beta testers were not allowed to get brown colored Zunes
  • Finally – he says the Zune is a “simple easy device to use”

Finally, check out some screenshots of the video that were taken at ZuneSphere.com (one of our sister sites). Enjoy!
