So it cannot be used as a USB hard drive or a data traveler. Zune pm3 also have no podcast directory in it. And also the maximum capacity is 32 Giga bytes while other brands are offering their products in up to 120 Giga bytes. Zune mp3 also have a limited Wi-Fi capability, it can only share limited data and buying cannot be done through the Wi-Fi connection. Zune is a good choice because of its intuitive interface and solid playback. But the if other brands offering so much extra options in their products, people expects more from Zune mp3.
