Com vocês, a primeira coluna do parceiro de blogagens Wallace Augustinho:
A Eurocopa ainda está na sua fase de grupos, mas já dá para perceber que essa é uma das edições mais disputadas da competição que de 4 em 4 anos para a Europa e o Mundo. Aliás essa não é só a Eurocopa do equilíbrio, mas também é a Eurocopa dos gols, tanto é que ainda não tivemos nenhum empate por 0 a 0.
As surpresas (antigas zebras) também tem aparecido na Euro 2012. Quem esperava vida fácil pra atual vice-campeã mundial, Holanda no grupo B se enganou. A seleção dos craques Robben e Van Persie precisa de uma vitória contra a até aqui surpreendente Portugal que havia feito amistosos ridículos antes da competição. Em um deles perdeu para a Turquia por 3 a 1, em casa e com uma péssima atuação de seu sistema defensivo.
Outras surpresas são os retrospectos de Rússia e Polônia também tem impressionado até aqui. Ambas as seleções tem jogado um futebol de bom nível tático e tem feito partidas praticamente perfeitas nesse quesito. As duas seleções estão invictas no Grupo A e tem chances claras de classificação. A Rússia com 4 pontos (venceu a República Tcheca e empatou com a Polônia) e a Polônia tem 2 empates, que diga-se de passagem foram muito lamentados.
Resta saber se as surpresas e a boa média de gols vão por aí. Os admiradores do bom futebol esperam que não e eu sou um deles.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
