jackalope14 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I was looking at the Zune at target the other day and I thought it looked pretty sweet. The picture was amazing. Now I dont know much about the technology and stuff, but my friend (who knows way more about computers and technical stuff than I do) said he thought the Zune was better. I think I might ask for one for christmas. :3> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryp0tt3rules Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ipod ftw, 1- they have been in production longer (not as many to no flaws in system, zune being new, it may have flaws 2-size, the ipod is so much more sleek and smaller than the big zune 3-durability, the zune has many parts that can break easily(the pad in the middle) 4- Ipod name, its impressive to say " I have an iPod, zune :? Hope this helps :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XplsvBam Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Either way harryp0tt3rules zune or ipod. You are going to want a warrenty so why would it matter if one has been out longer? I understand you point but its kind of irrelevant when you are talking insurance. Personally I'd get the zune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand you point but its kind of irrelevant when you are talking insurance. Personally I'd get the zune. Still, even WITH a warranty, would you feel safer with something that has been tested many times to work well, or something new that may have flaws that cannot be fixed with a new one, and do you really want to travel to the store again? This isn't even a question, iPods win. Microsoft has yet to impress me with hardware, other than the Xbox. +1, Also, can Microsoft really come up with an original idea once in a while, basically copying stuff that has been successful outside of computers.

Guest XplsvBam Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 it seems to me the zune has more to offer. and i think microsoft realizes that otherwise they wouldn't have wasted the time to make it. microsoft wants money, and if that means making a good product so be it.

Miluion Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Well, considering the reviews on Amazon.com, I'm leading more towards the Creative Zen. So iPod or just wait until the next gen iPod, which will have the features that the Zune has over it right now, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaakilju Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I thought Zune supported DRM and didn't even support microsoft's own "plays for sure"? And why would you want to buy crap and at the same time support even crappier company.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsuya Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 From what I've heard Zune is superior to Ipod in every way except weight and video battery life. I don't have either myself, though. I got a Zen. \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmms Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Zune doesn't support Windows Vista.. Mwuahhaaha i know that but by the time vista comes out completely it will work with it so thats not a big issue there will be more 3rd party programs for it then Aefx(started 11/1/2002) Cb: 200 TS: 1900+Bmms--Jr(Started on 1/24/06)(Banned 11/13/09 ) Cb: 119(pre-eoc) TS: 1700+Bmms(Started 8/?/2001)(Banned 1/24/06 ) Cb: 101(pre-eoc) TS: 1350+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownmasterofnothing Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Doesn't zune have better video play time and bigger screen. Drawbacks is it's slightly bigger. Also it is cheaper than a ipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiel2 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Creative ftw =; If you decide to take an iPod, you only pay for the name :XD: At least, I think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GhostRanger Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Doesn't zune have better video play time and bigger screen. Drawbacks is it's slightly bigger. Also it is cheaper than a ipod. Bigger screen but the same resolution. The Zune doesn't work with Vista yet - but the patch is already written for it and will be released when Vista is released to regular consumers in January. Personally, I like my iPod. I thought the Zune looked pretty cool online until we got some in at Circuit City. I thought the interface was clunky and the background images are a waste of battery life. My big thing I've always said about the iPod is that the interface + click wheel is the best that is out there - and the Zune failed to beat that so I'm not ready to switch. Our MP3 sales associates got to choose between a free iPod and a free Zune. After playing around with both of them for a week - all 4 of them chose iPods.

insane Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I've had numerous troubles with my iPod, so I might be switching over. I'm going to wait until the Zune has established itself first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viktorkrum77 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 iPod FTW!! There's no one like the iPod! It's like a stereo the way it's music plays, it's more than an mp3 player, it's a companion. :( Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmms Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 An easy choice: Zen Creative. Creative Zen. i was looking at them also but i changed my mind and i think im might go with the zune but if anyone still has more input ill be glad to read it Aefx(started 11/1/2002) Cb: 200 TS: 1900+Bmms--Jr(Started on 1/24/06)(Banned 11/13/09 ) Cb: 119(pre-eoc) TS: 1700+Bmms(Started 8/?/2001)(Banned 1/24/06 ) Cb: 101(pre-eoc) TS: 1350+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodkilla87 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I like my zen. I bought my 4 gig for cheaper than a 2 gig nano. The scroll thing takes some getting used to the sensitivity but once you figure it out its good. I just find my battery never ever lasted 12 hours like it said it would.
