I posted a poll...But since noone uses the freakin' polls. I thought I would just post a thread....

So ZUNE or Ipod:uhh:

i was in the same boat, i got a ipod touch and love it, no regrets even tho the zune had like 10x more storage...16 gigs is more than enough for me, i havent even used 9 yet and i have like 130 albums on there...

Thanks Magik...its a big dilemma; noone likes to buy a piece of gear that has a hidden shortcoming...

i use an iPod myself. just seems like there more on the market for iPod. i think i may get one of the newer ones soon even though there is nothing wrong with the one i got. it would just be nice to have the video function if i wanted.

Give some details about your situation.

The touch has only a 16GB which is retarded and way over priced.
The Zune's new software is retarded.

I've been kicking this around myself, but I want the Ipod so I can use it on my car, in addition to when I just want some tunes. Hmm maybe if the cost is right maybe I can get a video/mp3 player for running around and then a cheapo Ipod for the car. I wonder if it'd break even...

i admit it is, but i would never get another non flash memory mp3 player again...ive had 2 ipods (one which was used and one which i bought new) and a rio which was new that had hard drives, and ive had problems with them skipping while i jog, or the HD failing (rio)...so for a flash ipod with a nice colorful screen, and a kick ass web browser it was worth the $$$, but ill say if it somethin u have to decide on if its worth the price then it isnt somethin for you... i saw it, liked it, tried it out, and then bought it.

Make sure you download the latest software, and update the firmware. Many changes have happend in the last month.

Yeah, brown Zunes have been $100 (or less) all week online (http://fatwallet.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=27828647/no_zip=1) - Picked mine up at Circuit City while I was visiting my parents, but they decided to hold it as an xmas gift, d'oh! I'll have my thoughts on the Zune after the 25th.

Anyway, $79 is at least $10 cheaper than any others I've seen, that's an awesome deal!

I've owned my video Ipod for a couple years now. Still working fine even with heavy use, but I think my next model will be a Zune.

I own the 1st gen nano. I would'nt mind upgrading to the new one. I like the new video function on the nano.
My friend owns a Zune and he told me when you transfer songs from another Zune owner, it only lasts for a few days. I don't know if this is true but thats what he told me.

I say iPod :)

Edit:
Nvm. I say check out the samsung YP-P2 player. Has touchscreen and FM transmitter and all these other things :lol:

I still say - as long as Zunes are being blown out for absurdly low prices, they will remain my number one choice.

Zune doesn't have Mac support, so it's a no-go there.

iPod Touch FTW!
