J Mallard writes "Ars Technica has an in-depth review of the new Zune Flash. The overall verdict? An improvement over the original, with some caveats. 'I suspect there's a special shotgun in Redmond passed around ceremonially to the different divisions so each can shoot itself in the foot. When the shotgun arrived at the Zune team HQ, it appears to have been directed squarely at one of the most promising new features the device has to offer: autosyncing of recorded TV content. This may sound like a minor feature, but it's the sort of thing that could make up for the fact that Microsoft doesn't have a video store.' One problem: '"DVR-MS support for unprotected standard definition TV recordings from Windows Media Center. HDTV and protected recordings not supported." Let me make sure I understand this: at this point, a consumer has purchased a PC, Vista, a tuner card, and a Zune, but still can't be trusted with high-def content? Nice.'" Link to Original Source
