I personally think that the Ipod and the Zune are both terrific devices, I personally prefer the Ipod, but the Zune is pretty good to. Both the Ipod and the Zune have their ups and downs, but overall, I think they are both great devices

at least do ur homework before u bash something:
1. the Zune is a Microsoft product iTunes is Apple software why would they work together??
2. the Zune was developed ages ago! It is sort of logical that it wouldn’t work with Vista…
3. Zune and iPod cost the same and the Zune has a hard-drive which is better; it holds more data.
3. It isn’t the Zune’s WiFi that sucks it your home’s WiFi… remember the Zune is the thing that is designed to connect up at any WiFi point so don’t blame it on the Zune
4. Zune isn’t a Storage device?!? Neither is the iPod!!! And dah it isn’t meant to be it is meant to be a portable music device.

Well I love the Zune it is so much betta than the iPod well my iPod at least. My iPod doesn’t even turn on anymore and i have ony had it or a year but my warranty has expired conveniently… I am not buying iPod again thats for sure…

I own a Zune I have had problems with the software from day 1, I have had to call zune about 6 or 7 times with various problems, had to erase all content once and restore. I can put a album that I own on it and for no reason it will be deleted off of it and the computer its done this over and over again. And the very first problem I had when I tried to install the software it didnt load correctly and pluged the zune in thinking it loaded well I had to call microsoft so they tell me to unistall software and start over after doing so it the zune didnt recognize the compter and acted as if it was being pluged into another computer which sucked. O and if you buy songs from zune marketplace they too will disapear from time to time you can restore them however I have a couple that I have had to buy back again.
So to show my support this past year in 08 for Christmas I purchased a Ipod touch for my wife and each of my kids 3 total. And I plan to soon by myself one.
Thanks Zune

All of the reviews are a load of crap with the exception of the very last one talking about the comparisons. I personally own a 80gb Zune and a 80gb Ipod and i can say without a doubt the zune is easier to use works better loads more reliably and will play everything i load for my ipod. On the other hand i cant say any of that for the ipod , its basically a name brand piece of crap. not easy to use like the zune , wth is with a dial anyway!? pretty screwy control for gaming , the only thing i can say that is better with the ipod is , it has a clock …. big freakin deal, what a waste , just like all the comments talking crap about the zune. it seems to me that only the people who are too poor or cant understand it have bad feedback for it . get over it and stop being jealous why talk bad about something just because you cant have it . too funny , everyone seems to go with the flow…. no wonder humanity is slow to evolve, we just keep repeating the idiocy of previous people. too bad

ZUNE! Bwa ha ha ha! I can’t believe anybody can talk about this thing with a straight face. The only possible use for it would be for a parent to give it to their kid as a PUNISHMENT! Carrying a ZUNE around school would be as bad as wearing the uncool brand of shoes / jeans etc.

NONE OF YOU KNOW WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU WANT REAL FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE READ THIS.

You can NOT say Zune sucks if you have never even experienced it. Yeah iPods are cool and everybody has them, but truthfully, they are not that great. My brother and i together have owned 4 different iPods including the old 20GB black and white, the original Nano, the 30 GB video, and the new 4GB nano. I have recently purchased a zune because i was sick of the iPods dying. They would last for about a year(convieniently their warranty time) and then either their battery would die or they would have harddrive failures and just not play music. I was constantly resetting the iPods also so i could get some use out of it. Now for the video iPod. It was extremely slow. I would constantly wait for music to load, not to mention the time it took for a video. The screen was small and got scratched up extremely easily. The video quality was terrible even with movies i bought from iTunes. Bottom line, iPods are nice, but not nearly as good as they can be or as everybody thinks they are.

Now to talk about my new 80GB zune. First, it was only $250 with a $30 rebate. FOR 80GB! The screen is huge. It is amazingly clear. The videos play on my zune more clear than on my PC screen. And it does not scratch. And the new touch pad is awesome. Sure the ipods have the click wheel, but that is not that easy to use. The zune’s pad works wonderfully and believe it or not, the Zune is much more user-friendly than the iPod. THE ZUNE has NO LOADING TIME AT ALL. Videos show up instantly when i press Play. No waiting for crystal-clear videos. Wow. Something the iPod could never achieve.

Now to talk about software. I’m a huge fan of iTunes. It is a great progam (free too) and Apple did a very good job on it. It is true, the Zune software is a little slow. and there are some naming issues. But that is because v2 just recently came out and there are a few minor problems. But they will be fixed very quickly with free zune updates I assure you. The Zune software has all the features of itunes, just in a fancier more user-friendly way so you can use it even if you know nothing about computers (and being a computer geek, i dont really like but i will deal with it because everything else is so much better). The wifi is also a cool feature. I can sync my Zune from upstairs when my computer is downstairs with just a click of a button. The Zune software also puts all the music from you computer in the library and accesss it for you. Makes things really easy.

What ive been trying to get across here is that everybody just likes and buys the iPod because of the name and because everybody else has one. There are other hardrive disc players out there other than they iPod, and the Zune happens to be a very good one. At least give the Zune a chance and try it out before you post nonsense about how it doesnt work etc. The Zune is better and i would definately recommend buying one.

ZUNE IS THE WORST MP3 player ever made. I purchased the Zune thinking it would be better than an Ipod. NO WAY.

When I first got it, the earphone jack had a problem. There would be no sound when I fully plug in the earphone. I have to wiggle it for like 5 minutes in order to get sound. (so it’s not possible to bring it on jogging). K, so I go and exchange for another one.. This time the earphone problem has been resolved. However, the BATTERY DOESNT CHARGE. You would think that a brand new product would not have any of these problems. but the truth is – IT DOES.

I would rather stick with an ipod and not mess with these “clones” that are not even perfect
