Apple Ipod Vs. Microsft Mp3 Player

Recommended Posts

I would have to disagree with most of the majority here, I prefer the zune player for one reason... I dont have to translate everything to ITUNES! That is just annoying to convert every song I have into itunes... Zune may be a bulkier size but believe it, a newer version would come out which will be must slimmer.

I've always preferred the iPods. I try to stay away from supporting Microsoft whenever I can.

 

When the Zune first came out (about a year after the 5th Generation iPod Video), it seemed pretty good considering it had a bigger screen, and Wifi capabilities. The Wifi capabilities did sound cool at first, till you learn that the only thing you can do with it is exchange songs with other Zunes (And only keep for 3 days or something).

 

The iPod Touch, released recently, has definitely managed to blow the Zune out of the water. It's got a 3.5 inch touch, wifi internet access, plays videos, but only has 16GB of memory. That's something I'm fine with, though. It's basically an iPhone without the Phone Feature.

 

The Ipod is still the dominating force in portable music by a long shot, and it will take a VERY big, new innovation to knock it off its pedestal.

I agree with runeco, the iPods always were a bit pricey, but Microsoft seems to just follow the path that it's other competitors have already made, and adds in a mediocre feature (like the Wifi-feature in Zune, or the Aero Glass interface in Vista). Apple has been in the Poartable-Music Player market far longer than Microsoft has. Micosoft, in my opinion, is a nameless and faceless corporation. It shows in their products/marketing as well.
