ZUNE can’t be used as a portable hard drive

…as O’Reilly mentioned: You can connect your Zune to a Mac, and will even see that it’s attached in the System Profiler, but that’s about as far as you will go. The Zune will not mount on either the PC or a Mac and does not, unlike the iPod, have the option to be used as a portable hard drive.

• Is it just me, or is this thing resembling a brick more and more every day?
• More like a paperweight with an LCD screen for a wallpaper image.
• I’m a hard core windows enthusiast and I was excited about the Zune, but with all the reviews and such, I decided to get an iPod. When I don’t like a Microsoft product, then go for an Apple product, that tells me it is a flop.
• It would seem that most people outside the tech industry have no idea what a “Zune” is. Try asking people at work about them. You’ll soon see how true this is.
• …Let’s all use the vastly inferior product just to be different!
• This is all about control. MS wants to keep control of what you can do with the Zune. That’s the big issue.
• I dont get it, is there news out their that says what ZUNE CAN DO? All I read is what it cant do.
• I don’t have a Zune but my friend does and he says when you share an MP3 it only lasts for 3 days or 3 plays, then the MP3 self-destructs.
• They might as well have named it the iCan’t. Or uCan’t.
