Just came back from a 2 month back packing trip in Europe (holy crap it was hot!) Traveled hella light but of course I brought along da good ole Zune 120GB as well as an AAXA P1 pico projector.

Anyways I was worried about the weight of the Zune and projector when starting out. But as we got into it I’m sure as hell glad I brought them along - the Zune 120GB is simply badass. You cannot believe how many videos you can store with 120GB. I swear I loaded like 20 movies and as well as my entire (extensive) music collection with room to spare! We hiked through England, France, Italy bumping to my entire album. The radio didn’t work for any of the countries however, which was a bummer, but I guess it didn’t really matter since I don’t speak French or Italian anyways LOL. The battery life was decent, I brought a USB travel charger and was pretty much able to charge the Zune anywhere although I think I only charged it like 10 times even though I used it constantly. The Zune 120GB and the AAXA pico projector really shined on nights when we were too tired to go out and just wanted to chill or on the airplane and the train. It was a real hot item on the overnight train as we watched 3 movies for the 20 hour trip. This is where the AAXA P1 Pico projector came in real handy – there’s no way 4 people could stare at the tiny screen – instead we blasted a ~40” video on the train door. Only downside was the projector’s speakers was pretty weak and hard to hear over the train. Here's a pic of the P1 pico on the ceilling of the train:

Overall for you guys with the smaller Zunes I highly recommend getting the storage capacity, you cannot beat the ability to load a dozen or so movies. As for the pico projectors – GET IT! You cannot stare at a 6” or whatever screen for an entire movie – Microsoft needs to build in a pico projector into the Zune!! But since they don’t have it I highly recommend picking one up – the AAXA P1 Pico has a cable built for the Zune, but there are a lot of other pico and micro projectors out there these days too.
