this is a set up they were paid to say this by someone. and the questions were scripted. who wants an mp3 player that dosnt have a screen. this was a mac ad
...I figure the reason Apple still dominates the market is because people do that, not even realizing they have options. So I did some research and was considering the Zune 30GB (I consider the FM to be a big plus); but I've been reading some pretty horrible stuff about the new version 2 software. So my question is this: If I were to go out and buy the Zune right now, would it have the old software or the new software? (continued next post)...
...and if it has the old version, would I be better off leaving it that way, rather than updating it? I've also been reading good things about Creative Zen, so feel free to comment on that. Also, do most of these players have the same capabilities as far as outputs go? Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
i dont think they gave zune a chance, they acted like everything was a scam, i would like to say that ipods dont have anykind of wifi. and the shuffle is good but zune does alot more.
lol...well seeing how your comment was 2 months ago I will forgive you for being uninformed...but wait a second the iphone should have been around when u made that comment...so basically your just stupid
at the time the iphone was gonna be released. it cost $600 and can only be used with at&t. yes now if i had to chose i would get the ipod Touch over the Zune, but somemore mememory in the Ipod Touch would be nice it only has 16GB
I myself would get a Zune, because it's got a WAY bigger screen, and that's why most people would probably get the Zune, and it comes with all that good stuff inside. But the Ipod, EVERYONE knows how to use i, but I think the Zune will get a larger part of the market if they advertised more.
Yeah except that the zune screen isn't as good and whats the point of a screen anyways if there is no way you'll ever use it. I.e. Microsoft doesn't sell videos or shows online. These are all things you have to think about. I would also personally never buy a zune because the Apple itunes store has the largest selection of music worldwide. Zune has a fraction of that.
Their so stupid. "Does it do email?" why would it do email? what kind of question is that? i dont have a zune (ive played with one though), and its looking better and better. if these people were paid by apple, they didnt do a good job
because it has wifi. obviously people are going to think that it would have more capabilities than just being able to see other zunes. btw, if you are in the business of calling other people stupid, you may want to figure out the difference between the usage of "their" and "they're". "their" is a possessive, plural, third-person pronoun, while "they're" is a contraction of "they are."
Think about it...it's a morning news show. And the average person would think things like "e-mail, internet, etc." when they hear wi-fi. I think that's a legitimate question.
IT'S BY MICROSOFT- IT'S HACKABLE EASIER- IT'S ALREADY BEEN HACKED SO THAT YOU CAN SEND AND KEEP SONGS.
It also has a bigger screen, better quality and little things such as magnets in the earphones (other than the ones that are something to do with the sound actually coming out of the earphones) which means they dont get tangled.
Zune does everything a iPod can but better and has more features
No I'm not, and trust me I'm not Microsoft fan boy either, I tend to lean away from their operating systems and products in general. To be honest though how is it not superior? It has all of the same features without having to use iTunes which is now becoming the new Realplayer. From the eyes of a techie it is completely obvious that my comment is logical.
Hm lets look at it this way, The Zune has essentially the same hardware features for the same price, and you don't have to have iTunes take over your computer and waste its valuable resources. Hands down, the Zune is superior.
I have no clue why everyone is P.M.S.ing about the size of the Zune. I went to Bestbuy to see the Zune, and its not big or clunky at all. In fact it has about same the depth as the CreativeZen which is.7 of an inch and the Zune's is .6 of an inch, the iPOD 30g is .4 and the iPOD 80g is .6 of an inch.
I have a Zune and i love it!!!! I've also had an Ipod video, and there is no comparison, hands down Zune all the way. I had so many problems with my Ipod freezing and the cursor not working that i ran over it after i got my Zune! and yes, they were very anti-zune, they should open up there eyes and realize Ipods suck!
this show is very anti-zune... they should at least show pros and cons rather then shooting down everything... (can anyone else notice apple sponsors this news show more then microsoft?)
Product for Product I think the Ipod video and Zune are very compairable, but for me I'd take the Zune, between the color choice and compatibility with my music library, I am going to have to give the nod to the Zune for me.
I agree that microsoft steals some ideas from apple. But, they just improve it and make it run better. Many people just dont want to admit that Microsoft is the leading in technology. But guys, this is all opinion. Be either an apple lover or a microsoft.
CNN automatically assumes everybody buys iTunes? Is that why people won't switch? Heck no. And lady, if somebody wanted to buy something light like that Shuffle, then don't buy a video ipod or a Zune, it's that obvious you're comparing apples to oranges, duh.
There is just absolutely NO way I will own a Zune - ever. If they gave it to me I'm more likely to investigate if it blends than to foul up my music collection with this "thing". DOA - already..
why can microsoft only steal ideas from apple (and everyone else who ever had an original idea in the computer/tech world)? why can't they EVER create anything original? zune lovers, i guarantee you everything you like about zune will be far surpassed by the next generation of ipods. the iphone already demonstrates that. apple is always innovating. microsoft is always following.
ipod wasnt the first mp3 player, it was just the most successful one, apple didn't start the mp3 revolution so microsoft isnt stealing it, theyre just doing what apple did, taking an old idea and making it better.
zune is the best i got it for christmas my friend had the ipod 5g and it froze and he couldnt do anything with it, ipods good but the zune is 10 times better
apple has advertisment on ccn so what else are they gonna say? that he ipod sucks? if it wasnt for the ipod apple would be out of business... lets use our head people
I personally like the size, I'm not going to be running or jogging with it os the wieght doesn't concern me at all. As far as the size goes, if it fits in my pockets, it's ok by me. The memory size is the same... If I bought the Zune, I would be starting a completely new library so I wouldn't lose any iTunes. Unlike the shuffle, I wouldn't be afraid of breaking it at all.
lol zune. reason ipod is better is bc its actually supported and theres tons of sites with movie in mp4 format that u can download with no conversions or anything and just put it on your ipod plus the click wheel rapes the lame ass zune button and the video is better
The video is better on the Zune...The sound quality is better on the Zune...The playback is faster...And it's upgradeable from Microsoft without voiding my warranty. How do I know this... I OWN BOTH AN IPOD AND A ZUNE! Shut up everyone who doesn't have both.
omg seriously .. can some1 explain me what ipod have that zune doesnt ? zune has 265k collors while ipod, 65k ... thats a huge diference when u watching a video .. and maybe thats why zune is a bit heavier too .. but the musics ,.. just need to go to kazaa or emule or whatevr and dowload as many as u like .. i dont see a big bad point that would make u buy a ipod and not a zune
loool, i was going to get a zune, because a few of my friends are getting one. i thought it would be cool because we could trade music, i never realized you would have to pay for the song when you're "trading" music. the only reason that there's a chance i might get one is the zune marketplace on the actual device. but i would have to restart my library all over again, i never buy cd's, usually off of itunes. i'll probably stick with the new ipod devices.
