Default Zune Stories From the Field

http://www.zunerama.com/articles_011.php

"Today I took my Zune (and my two daughters and one of their friends) with me on a snowboarding trip to Mount Baker - our local ski hill and, incidentally, home of the world's record for most snowfall in a season (95 feet, no less). Over the course of the day, I put the Zune through a field test of its battery performance, temperature tolerance, and its ability to withstand an unintentional bounce or two."

 

How would Zune hold up with hours of continual use, boarding down your favorite slops in freezing temperatures, and taking the brunt of some bone-jarring spills? Pretty well, apparently. Check out this post on Zunerama for the complete story. Personally, my Zune much prefers sitting beside the nice cozy fireplace while I'm out hitting the slopes. (Read: I'm too worried about concentrating on staying off my butt to even consider listening to any tunes while I'm on the slopes.)

I plan on going scuba diving this weekend. Do you think my Zune would hold up under 50 feet of water?

I think I might do my own field test...

You're a braver man than I am!! Not sure if the warranty will cover your Zune getting the "bends" though...

Yeah! Be sure to let us know how that goes!

Of course you could always tryout one of these cases for your Zune. They have ones rated to 30m!

Well I wasn't serious, but why in the world would someone want to take their Zune to a depth of 30m (100ft)? When I'm diving I definitely don't have the desire to listen to any music.
