I was able to play with a Zune in a limited fashion at Target the other night.  It would of been bitch’en cool…in 2001.  The screen is pretty nice, but I think the navigation could take forever with the 5 direction pad and no click or scroll wheel.  Ironically, the navigation is almost identical to the Zaurus music player’s navigation.  (The player for the Japanese Zaurus, not the one included with the American rom (which sucks.))

It still looks like a PDA with no touch screen.  Except it has no PDA features and a crippled  WiFi connection.  AdHoc only mode?  Why?  Apparently the hardware is pretty much a PDA as well.   I think they took a Toshiba PDA, took off the touch screen, slapped on a big hard drive and battery and called it a Zune.  I am sure the Linux hackers will have Familiar or OPIE running on there soon.
