O.K. I’ve had my ZuneHD for a couple of weeks now, Zunetag = Maimecat but now the Honeymoon is over, we’ve been through a few ups and downs and we went out and bought a few accessories to keep it fresh.
Make no mistake about it, Maimecat likes it raw, but she had to get some protection, and the Microsoft – Jam Jacket CordSaver Case for ZuneHD in black turned out to be just the ticket. This Silicon cover does not cover the multi-touch screen, and that’s a good thing. $20 at Best buy.

And in case you didn’t know it, the ZuneHD headphones have a little magnet built in to keep them together and neat. See photo below.

The cord saver really makes for a neat and tidy ZuneHD when you have the cord stowed away.

So now that we’ve spent a little time getting to know each other, we decided that we needed to share all of the Wonderful Gangster Rap that we downloaded with our Zunepass, and we are sharing it with the neighbors in a variety of ways. You can dock it to your Home Stereo System, Auto, PWC, Boat, -Any communication system with a 3.5 mm input jack.
For picnics, day events, small gatherings, the beach, you will want to get a powered portable speaker system. Prepare to spend $50 bucks, you will want something with some power, I happened to catch a good deal on Woot.com and picked up 2 of these Audiobox Portable Speaker Systems, not only are they water resistant for inclement weather, they have plenty of power and reasonable sound quality.
Though I will DEFINITELY be looking to acquire a higher end system for extended use scenarios such as a 2nd residence or office. For camping and tailgating, this can’t be beat. For larger gatherings, you may want to go with something a little ballsier like the Kicker zKick ZK500

As for the new Zune Software and outputting to 720, I will get into all of that later, I just wanted to give a thumbnail of how I’m using my Zune.
How are you using yours?
