I mainly chose zune over ipod because I hate iTunes with a passion
I can stand that program

but then again, I hate Apple in general.

[BrentPriit]

Mmmm I wanna see the Zune and lick it for a while

[clogicgmather]

I voted nano. I guess it depends what you want from a small device like that. Personally i see no appeal in watching video on the move and dont really need gigabytes of storage for a couple of albums.

Does anyone here actually rate the zune on looks? It just seemed quite ugly to me.

[Rotfloljfk]

Zune has alot of new features, I particularly like the custom wallpapers and local sharing with music stuff. I DO NOT LIKE the fact that the Zune only comes in 30GB, as iPod just released an 80GB model, and I am all about space.


I voted zune,though.

Slashdot is linking to an article that states:

"Market share data for the first month of Microsoft's Zune sales is now available, and appears to confirm that after the initial hype, sales have fallen off dramatically. Microsoft came in fourth for sales during the month of November with only 1.9% of the market. Apple remained unchanged at 62.2%, and SanDisk even managed to increase to 18.4% (looks like the Zune might not even be able to compete with the rest of the market, let alone the iPod). The one surprise though is that the brown Zune is apparently not only being bought, but more popular than the white model."

wow, a biased microsoft poll on a microsoft forum. How did you expect it to go. Zune is a joke, a bulky nerdy joke. Sharing music 3 times. lol.

Ipod rules. and when the widescreen ipod is released the zune will go the way of microsofts other disaster Ultimate TV, remember that?

Oh course you dont.

Remember the Xbox?

Xbox Live.

maybe you can remember DOS?

there's also Windows.

did I mention the whole MSN network?

who the hell votes for the Zune!!!
it looks like a brick and has totally no coolness

ipod video or nano nothing else

oh yeah i forgot...

Zune = for nerds

Apple = Great

and when they finally release the iPhone they'll take over the mobile phone industry just like they rule the mp3 industry

I do like Microsoft's xbox 360 though!

In person it looks awesome - the screen stands out so amazingly you notice it

for the blockiness, I can say they did a great job with the amount of stuff they fit inside

[gamemaster14]

there should be an option for neither.

[dyinman]

If I had to choose between those two, as if they are the only two media players on this planet, I'd go with the Zune. Why? Cuz I'm sick of iShit.

[Reaper527]

i'm personally holding off for the iPhone, but since its not on the poll, i said zune partially  due to the amazing screen that it has.

[The*galloping*zebra]

I'm all for the iPod, I also admire Jonathon Ive as a designer, The Zune's design looks too Art Deco for me


 

[eebeejay]

My choice is Zune. But I want a 60gig+, so I'll probably wait a bit longer.

But the best thing is that since the Zune is out now, it'll force better Ipods to surface in the future (not that they're bad now). The competition between the two will result in better products from both. Because in my opinion the Zune is the first true competitor for the Ipod.

sorry, i meant portable mp3 players are overrated. I agree, a computer (which is a "mp3 player") isn't overrated  

I think you may be mildly retarded.... Anywho, since I only have an iPood so I can only comment on it. I've had issues with freezing once in a while and I don't like not being able to drag n' drop with it but it's worked very well for over a year and it's worth the money to me since I own so many cd's. Portable video is pretty useless but it is nice to have. I am planning to get a new player soon, but I don't think I'll be getting either one of these devices the next time mainly because of the limitations on both such as dn'd and format limitations.

I love my Archos GMINI...  all the power of playing DIVX, XVID, MP3s and much more ....LONG before the video crap-pod came out.  It works well and it is treated as a standard USB storage device...   Great for putting files on for moving between multiple computers.

Screw the crappod and the zune wannabe.  If they actually did something impressive *AND* came at a reasonable price, then I'd give them some respect... otherwise they are just out there to bilk you of precious dollars.   The Archos products are what I go towards.

You have a great point, they are both way overpriced!  I only got an iPod because I got it for free, I will get a Zune (for free) as soon as they crack the firmware.
