The build quality and quality for the price are amazing
How is the build quality?
This is the best media player for the price. But when it comes to other features such as apps and the Zune software  used to load music/movies, this is where it is limited. I was looking for a cheaper replacement for my old ipod touch, which ran out of storage quite quickly, the Zune Hd was a near perfect fit. The lack of camera and built-in  speakers was disappointing, but the cool features and unique navigation really shined. The complete lack of apps in the app store was quite disturbing, only 50 or so apps, most of them pretty bland.Compared to the ipod, the Zune Hd has EXTREMELY fast start up times (5 to 8 seconds usually) , the battery is amazing and it hardly ever crashes.While the Zune Hd may be lacking some features,they are not deal breaking features, I still have to give the Zune 5 out of 5 stars. The build quality and quality for the price are amazing. This product surprised me in every way (except the crappy app selection).
