Yup. Zune from microsoft is coming soon.
Looks like a nice device. But I'll stick with my walkman and my CDs.
Discuss.
technology board
Also, the Zune reportedly has something like nine hours' battery, which isn't much competition for iTunes' twenty-four.
Ipod is too big.
Wish they could be over taken thou. =(
I was reading about this earlier in a GameInformer magazine. It looks alright. I'll stick with my iRiver until I can buy an iPod.
I pods tend to be over kill. the only thing they have that i wish my mp3 player had was a rechargeable battery. but even then, i go through like one or two AAAs a week, so its not that bad.
Competition? lol. Zune will have a good run this holiday season due to the lack of anything much from Apple, but when the new iPods get released, or 6G comes out, Zune's finished.
Shut up, shut up, you know ****ed well what I meant to say. :(

The company that made me, Toshiba, pretty much carried Microsoft on its shoulders when they built the Zune - but they used all that experience to build a cheaper, better model in me. 25 hours of music, eight hours of video. That's more than the PSP or the iPod.
I rock.[/url]
Meh, I'm still sticking with my S series Gigabeat. =)
iPod already has competition from Sandisk, they're No.2 in mp3 players with their Sansas. I have one, it beats the crap out of iPod Nano.
my ipod's broken three times on me, so I'm looking forward to this
This must be the 15th "iPod killer" I've seen. Honestly, it won't overthrow the iPod, or most likely stand up to it.
Whether it's made by Sony, Microsoft, or ***, I don't see the iPod moving for a long time.
Anything you can fit in your pocket and plays the tunes you like is good enough for me. The Zune looks plain and simple, that sometimes is a good thing.
Ill probably stick with ipods since im mainstream whore. lol.
There's absolutely no way I'd get one if it had to sync with Windows Media Player, it's just plain horrible. Otherwise, the Zune seems okay though - although the name is bad, it's not quite at the level of "Wii"...
I like iPods, but for their tendency to break down a few days after your warranty expires.
See, the iPod has something the rest of them don't: street cred. iPods are just cool, often for no particular reason. Sort of like the Corvette. They've been around forever, have their flaws, and maybe aren't as good as some competition but they still don't have any "real" competition because they are cool, and people will buy them anyway.
I've had one iPod that just broke for no reason at all (Shuffle), and another that I've beat the **** out of for over a year and a half now (I'm talking water, extreme heat, etc - also a Shuffle) and I'm pretty happy with it. BUT, the new, smaller, aluminum, 1GB Shuffle that's going for only $80 is what I'm going to replace it with. Unless you have thousands of songs, I don't see why the screen is necessary and it attributes to a very long lasting player. I won't get anything else. And hell, I get a 512MB flashdrive out of the deal, too. :cool:
No it doesn't. It's a retarded name. iPod just happens be to worse.
**** you're negative. Ok let me put it this way: I (me,myself and I) think that the name ZUNE sounds good. And it's MY opinion.
This looks crap. BEBOP HAS SPOKEN
