If you’d like to complain about the Zune, then go right ahead. I, for one, rather enjoy the ease of setup and the very intuitive and user friendlyness of the Zune.

I was able to have my Zune 8 Gig out of the box and up and running in about fifteen minutes. The 8 Gig iPod I bought for my Mom has taken hours.

The user interface takes a lot of getting used to and you aren’t able to really get it to look where you want for music and videos without a lot of fiddling.

There is also the issue with converting videos for playback as they need to be converted. I started this process for 28 music videos at 1515hrs and it is currently 1610hrs and a total of5 videos have been done.

The Zune did over 200 videos in less than 20 minutes.

As much as I like the fact that the iPod has more options the ease of setup and use of the Zune is much better and I’m looking forward to the ZT when it arrives.

I love how people take sides with a company they don’t even fully know.

To start off,
Apple products are cheap, enough said. Most of the effort goes into making their products is just deciding, “How can we make this look cheesy and classy?”. For example, an Ipod that was given to me (I would never buy one, honestly) had water damage to it, so I attempted to open it up and repair it. Well, just as I would have expected, unscrewing the device does absolutely nothing, as there are no circuits underneath, just more plastic that has to be broken to get to the inner workings. I’m going to smash this worthless piece of junk as soon as I get my hands onto something more dependable, like Microsoft. They purposefully sacrifice power and dependability for beauty (Although I still find the products unattractive).

My second point is how they strictly control their customers. Do you really know who makes all the apps for the Iphone? Apple makes all of them. And guess what? If you want to make an amazingly useful app, you must pay Apple a nice large sum of money just to get the rights to even do so. Oh yea, one more thing, Itunes is a JOKE.

Know your facts, consumers.

Zune HD will win easily if it has a lower initial price. I still haven’t bought an iPod Touch because I can’t shell out $300 dollars for an mp3 player.

And a World of Warcraft app wouldn’t hurt

To whoever wrote this, please learn how to write an unbiased report. That was pathetic anti-microsoft propaganda and utterly worthless.

I am not anti-Apple, but they do not invent much. They take existing ideas and market/package them well. Apple do make a good product, but they are hardly inventive. BTW, until the iPod touch, the Zune was a much superior player. The most significant problem any Apple competitor has is the App Store. A 7 to 9 inch screen model will not replace an iPod Touch or Zune. What part of portable is that difficult to understand? It would be a nice supplemental product, though.
