About Zunerama
Established in July 2006, Zunerama is an independent website dedicated to Zune, Microsoft's portable media player and music download service.
While we take our technology seriously here, we try not to take ourselves too seriously. We enjoy the passion, curiosity, expertise, and humor that the Zunerama community brings to this website. Our aim is to provide useful resources and a friendly, knowledgeable gathering place for all Zune owners.
The Zunerama mission is to be a hub for the Zune community, and to provide comprehensive resources for Zune owners. Those resources include:
Online community of Zune owners and enthusiasts.
Original content, analysis, and commentary on Zune.
Technical reviews of Zune products, accessories, and services, including photo and video reviews.
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
Giveaways and contests
Harvey Chute, the founder and editor of Zunerama, has also co-authored Wiley's Zune for Dummies guide. He received Microsoft's 2007 MVP award (Most Valuable Professional) for Digital Media.
