It works both ways. Vertically for music, and horizontally for video. The controls (volume, etc.) reorient themselves accordingly.
My thoughts are that the Zune, while a passable iPod imitator, will suffer under the weight of MS' own ineptitude.

Microsoft says the device won't play tracks or albums bought through existing music services affiliated with its own Windows Media "PlaysForSure" initiative. Those services -- such as Napster, MTV's Urge and Yahoo Music Unlimited -- have been partnering with Microsoft and device makers to try to challenge Apple Computer's iPod and iTunes juggernaut.

"I've seen the demonstrations on the Internet about how you can find another person using a Zune and give them a song they can play three times. It takes forever. By the time you've gone through all that, the girl's got up and left! You're much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear. Then you're connected with about two feet of headphone cable"

Hi Dave Fischer!
Anyway, it took Microsoft 5 years to catch up with the iPod and they couldn't even launch the product with a working video store?
Also, did any bloggers get a "free" Zune with instructions to return it in 2 weeks. Fuck writing free good PR for someone who won't even give you a free fucking toy.
The "features" of the Zune only seem to impress neophiles and 17 year old boys who think the PSP is better than the DS.

Microsoft Exec Slams Report of Zune Death

please remain calm

I"m probably the only person here that has one of these and uses it regularly. It's an 80 gig Zune - the red one with the larger screen. Never used any of the wifi, video, radio, sharing, social bullshit or anything. As a basic mp3 player, it's good. The software is pretty bad, the tagging and all that stuff is slow as hell and doesn't work properly. The headphones were bad - the fabric coating on the wire used to rub against your clothes and send a scraping noise into your ears. I got rid of them almost immediately. The machine itself is nice, the screen and the interface is good, and I can't believe it's still working after 3 years. I'd rather have an ipod but this thing just keeps going.

so this lives on in software form only.you buy (or get given one !) a windows phone and suddenly you have no option to use windows media to x-fer music over onto the phone.instead you have to install zune.which after a few settling in issues, i have come to like .. but still, why the break from windows media, as given i use an old school low spec xp laptop, i would much prefer to use wm as its easy on the memory ..
