Two of the most popular tech columnists, the NYT’s David Pogue and the WSJ’s Walt Mossberg, each smacked Microsoft’s new Zune music player in reviews today. I’ve already given five reasons why Zune won’t topple the iPod. Here are a couple more. Mossberg: “The hardware feels rushed and incomplete. It is 60% larger and 17% heavier than the comparable iPod.” Pogue: “What looks like an iPod scroll wheel, though, is a fakeout. It doesn’t turn, and it’s not touch-sensitive. Instead, it’s just four buttons hidden under the compass points of a plastic ring.” And my personal favorite reason, the Zune has no podcast management or audiobook capability.
