Must be a response to the fantastic news from Apple yesterday.

There's nothing I would like better than a sh1t brown Zune.

I have a Zune and am fine with it. It does everything my old 4th gen iPod did, except with a bigger screen.

But it's still a clunky piece compared to an ipod...

u_nick · 09-06-2007, 06:04 PM

It''s actually pretty much the exact same size as my 4th gen iPod. Less than half an inch taller, but definitely thinner.

All I want is a PMP that has a nice large 16:9 screen, 10GB flash memory (NO HD), MP3/Divx/Xvid/MP4 and a user replaceable battery

iPod Touch...almost

WickyWoo · 09-06-2007, 06:38 PM

Not enough storage, no user replaceable battery, touch screen just means fingerprints

Oh, and no Steve Jobs ego/Fashion accessory tax

And you can buy songs via wifi on the go and sync them back to your computer when you get home.

WTF is Zune?

(I live in europe, btw. lol)

jasoncarmony · 09-06-2007, 07:21 PM

I have a 30Gb Ipod and the Zune. I personally like the Zune better. The screen makes it for me. Would you rather was tv shows on a bigger or smaller screen? That's easy to answer. The biggest problem with the Zune is terrible advertising campaign (pretty much non-existant) and came into the game too late. Apple had alread cornered the market. Either way, I love both. But I probably like the Zune a little more.

movies3 · 09-06-2007, 07:47 PM

Zune on the left apple on the right

Thundercrash07 · 09-06-2007, 07:53 PM

The iPod looks way cooler.
