Zune has way better video quality than the iPhone/iPod family, not to mention much cheaper than the iPod. |
The 8GB Zune and iPod are at the same price.

Or that Apple overprices fucking everything because you're paying for NAME.
I have two 30gb zunes, and they are fine. Video is clear, sound is fine, and best of all, I got them for free.

U wonder y Macs emulate PCs 90% of the time? It caz Apple sucks and they finally admit it.

iTunes is the best music-housing software available, and it works seamlessly to organise your music collection on your iPod. Free music and pilots from the iTunes store are also a welcome way if finding new talent and series.
Despite people bashing iPods they are brilliant nowadays, their batteries last throughout the day (and longer, my iTouch has been running for 4 days now) which is good enough as long as you have a plug socket at home, which I am presuming most of you do. They are very user simple and easy to configure, volume limits can be broken easily as well (for those in the EU). They are designed to be carried like an mp3 player should be, rounded edges, small, thin, headphones not being cramped or bent badly.
Regarding quality of video, is that seriously something you really care about? I got an 80gb iPod Video and the clarity was brilliant, however I must have watched about 3 movies in total on it because it's just not what it should be used for. Yes blah blah "but you bought an iPod Video", I actually just bought the new generation of normal high-capacity iPod that just happened to have been developed to include video. Thus t was marketed as an iPod Video. Not an iPod that was made to specialise in videos, but just showing off it's latest media-playing capabilities. It is like buying a PS3 solely for the bluray player. There are other better BluRay players on the market but the fact is you wanted a games console. You're never going to be watching the entire Star Wars set on a screen that small.
I don't know anything about Zunes but I know enough about iPods having had a Mini, Nano, Video and Touch.

| Considering Zune just came out a few days ago, it won't have a lot of publicity just yet. Its video quality supersedes the iPod's at least 5 fold, so the Zune is better.

Zune.
The Zune has a larger screen that’s better for movies. The Zune screen has a horizontal display mode for viewing movies in a wide aspect ratio. The Zune will play movies… or any video at all. The Zune will do most everything else the iPod does at the same price. Wireless features on the Zune provide a compelling new feature. Available in Brown. Zune is sexier.

So Zune is a better mp3 player because its' video quality is better?
Anyhow past the initial "omg i can play videos on my mp3" phase I highly doubt you will be using it for that purpose much as it's screen is too small. I don't even use my PSP for videos. Because I bought it for a games console after all and if I want to watch videos I wait until I get home. Only in very few cases will you be impatiant enough, or desperate enough, to want to use it for watching videos, for long periods of time.
As for playing 'anything' watch out as;
| Quote: | | Microsoft’s Zune will not play protected Windows Media Audio and Video purchased or “rented” from Napster 2.0, Rhapsody, Yahoo! Unlimited, Movielink, Cinemanow, or any other online media service. That’s right — the media that Microsoft promised would Play For Sure doesn’t even play on Microsoft’s own device. Buried in footnote 4 of its press release, Microsoft clearly states that “Zune software can import audio files in unprotected WMA, MP3, AAC; photos in JPEG; and videos in WMV, MPEG-4, H.264″ — protected WMA and WMV (not to mention iTunes DRMed AAC) are conspicuously absent. |
You probably pirate your music Im just making you aware.
Also how does the fact it comes in brown make it sexy?
How is there anything sexy about this colour;

Zune is better because iPod is a piece of shit. I bought an 80 gig for 250$ and it was raining hard as fuck and it was in my pocket and it broke and apple is trying to charge me 180$ to fix it. I did the same with Zune except it didn't fucking break. ZUNE > IPOD

Eww Limewire but both should.
iNcorrection: I dropped mine in a puddle and it still works. I dropped my psp and it broke. Go figure.
However as I said, I don't know Zune I just know I've never had any problems with iPods. Zune could be beter but to be honest, for an mp3 player an iPod works well for me.
Lorrenzo: Check around for reviews on both or comparisons (not spec comparisons, real test comparisons on the features) |
There's a difference for a puddle and rain.
Puddle just surronds it and raindrops get in the nooks and crannys. The zune actually has protection against that shit. I HATE APPLE! RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
