Ipod or Zune! which is better?
Ok so im thinking of getting a MP player yes i know im way behind and so far there are two im inching toward because of the hard drive sizes. The Ipod gig and the Zune gig.

Answer

I got a Zune becausebrbr. Nice design Both are very nice looking, but I think the Zune is better. Its different, yet cool, and the iPod Classic has too much of a utilitarian look to it, and isnt as inviting.brbr. Hardware Definitely Zune. The brushed aluminum backside is really scratch free Apple uses the other scratchprone aluminum back. The plastic front of the Zune has a nice solid texture. The Zune has a BIGGER glass screen. Makes video viewing great. brbr. UI The user interface on the Zune is much more better and intuitive. The iPod Classic still uses that menu system where you have to keep quotdiggingquot in and out to get where you want. Zune one ups it by making it very easy to find what you want in one category, and gets you back to the home screen faster.brbr. Customizability You can change the background of the menueasy to identify and looks cool, get your Zune a nickname you have to register, and hope noone else took it, get special laser engraving at Zune Originals httpszuneoriginals.neta , cases, accessories, and the usual. brbr. FM Radio You can catch radio talk shows, news, sports, radio contests, new music, and a bunch of other radio content with the FM Radio. You can also buy a song from a radio station, if theres RDS offered.brbr. WiFi You can share songs and pictures with other Zune owners, wirelessly connect to your PC, access the Marketplace store, and instantly update your podcastsbrbr. Software computer I personally like to manage my music in the Zune software better. iTunes really looks like old spreadsheets compared to the Zune program. Again, the UI on the desktop software is pretty smooth, slick, and simple to go around. Nice transitions, and you can even change the background theme. Also, it uses LESS memory, so its not as as bad on system resources.brbr. Store iTunes does have more content, Ill admit. But the offerings on Zune arent bad. It has almost all the tracks that iTunes has, and theres some TV shows and music videos offered Increasing every week!. Browsing through Zune Marketplace is cool though! Popular artists have special pages and it looks really neat to browse through. Finding content is much more easier for me. You can also access the store on your device.brbr. Zune Pass This is an optional way of getting music from the store. Instead of traditionally buying music, you can RENT music for . a month. You have access to almost all of the stores music tracks, and you can download as many tunes as you want onto your device. After a month, you do have to pay . to keep your subscription running, or else your songs dont work. But its a great legal way to get tons of music, for a rather cheap price.If thats not your thing, each song cost points each cents. brbr. MixView On the Zune software, theres this awesome visualization that comes up when youre playing a song. You really have to take a look httpvideo.msn.comvideo.aspx?viddadabrbr. Games The latest Zune firmware contains games Hexic and Texas HoldEm. More coming soon.brbrYou can DOWNLOAD the Zune software right now, and give it a try httpwww.zune.netenussoftwaredownlabrbrAlso, the Genius feature on the iPod, doesnt even compare to the Zunes. Check out any fair review on the web, and the Zunes Channels and Picks offer a much better music discovery.brbrHave any other questions? Just contact me.
