  • Seriously though im gettin the zune hd though.looked at the vid and saw some interestin things (hdmi support wtf)the iphone apps suck and if you do not jailbreak the ipod it is basically a really expensive paperweight.ALSO,some guy told me that the zune can get 3rd party apps using a program guys

  • just clearin things up people...an ipod will sound as good as a zune with an amp.sorta like how laptop speakers are shit unless you buy a pair of headphones.BUT...its just better to get a samsung....seriously people,forget the shitty 4s and get the samsung.Trust me

  • its pretty lame . you have to pay 14 dollers a month for 10 songs what a deal not

  • @cinderdockery94 Um, you pay (it's actually 10 bucks now) and you can download all the music you want. But you have to keep paying the monthly fee. The 10 songs were for you to keep, even if you cancaled the subscription. Not sure they still do the 10 song thing tho

  • @cinderdockery94 you get unlimited streaming

  • @cinderdockery94 It's 14 dollars for unlimited music and 10 songs you get to keep.

  • iPod touch 4g or zune what's better?

  • @HawaiinStrength26 zune if you dont care about apps

  • @ilikepieism ipods have amps that make them sound 45% better.On an unrelated note,the zune hd 2 isnt cancelled.IN FACT...its been out LOL

  • @KashgroundTM Well I suppose if you want to carry around an amp and have 8 GB of storage, the iPod is for you.

  • @xSpectrumGaming 8 gigs?i trashed that after buying the 64 gig one.

  • @KashgroundTM The 64 GB costs $400.

  • @xSpectrumGaming 64 gig zune is 550 dollars.a used 32 gig zune is 168 dollars.an unesed zune hd 32 gig is 399.95.an iphone 4s is 400-613 bucks if it is 16 gigs.unfortunately,both are NOT overpriced.in fact,they can be considered underpriced.it takes so much money to make those things,im suprised they aren't selling at a loss of profit

  • @KashgroundTM A 32 GB Zune Hd at best buy is 200.

  • @xSpectrumGaming amazon usually sell stuff cheaper than the actual store price...but what you said suprised me lol ok that is a good deal then

  • Me: Yo Bill Gates, can you programme my Zune please?

    Bill: Well sure.

    Me Sike! I use a I- Pod like the rest of the world!

    Bill: But it's the same cheap plastic crap!

  • they are $140 in U.S.A. Michigan in best buy for a 32gb good price

  • To put it in simple terms, if you love apps then the Zune HD is not for you. The Zune HD has AWESOME video & sound quality. The Zune to me personally is NOT built for apps. I personally could care less about "Apps". I want to listen to music NOT..play games,surf the web,type,draw,check my email and everything else that I COULD actually do on my laptop or tablet. ITS NOT THAT DEEP! I am a fan of Zune and i think that the Zune is great for what it is. NOT everything has to be just like APPLE! smh

  • It a damn ipod touch!

  • @legendsbasebal17 ITS MORE THAN A IPOD TOUCH ITS A EXPERIENCE

  • if this thing is cheap i will buy the next generation! by cheap i mean 200 to 100 dollars in mexico

  • This looks amazing. Too bad it failed to that shitty ipod touch.

  • Probably one of the nicest MP3/Media players for the money. Also a piece of computing history. This is the only commercial product that I am aware of that uses the 1st Generation Nvidia Tegra Mobile Processor.

  • how much is it

  • It's not called fucking iTouch. Seriously.

  • The reason the Zune HD is better than the Ipod Touch because of one thing, It's an mp3 player.  I say this because the Itouch is there to be a device, they put way more emphasis on games and apps and using it for things other than an mp3 player and because of that the itouch's music quality suffers. The Zune does is a better mp3 player

  • @Mrevo599 The iTouch's music quality doesnt suffer at all. It still has the best quality out of all the players I've ever used.

  • the oohshiny phase

    i thought i was the only one who did that! XD

    does this havewifi?

  • @yuyu776 yeah i does have wifi

  • This looks nice. And I have and iPod touch 4.... Does the martketplace have any apps?

  • @TobuscusW Zune's Marketplace has some cool apps, but there isn't that many to choose from, you have the basic apps like Facebook and Twitter but the Zune HD app has a very cool game Audiosurf tilt for it.

  • I like the purple thing

  • haha Man On The Moon was the first album. shoutout to Cudi!

  • how do you get the artist's pictures to come up as the background?

  • @mna101592 i think that's only in the marketplace, not sure.

  • omg, it's so sexy :F

  • I dont wanna say this even though i always wanted something to overule the ipod but i think this is better in graphics pretty much what matters to me and ipod touch doesnt really worry about music anymore just apps come on thats what its for music anyone have and advice IPOD TOUCH OR ZUNE HD??

  • can i get a zunephone?

  • @blake45123 Windows Phone 7

  • @blake45123 a "zune phone" phone would be a Windows Phone 7. I have it, go look it up, its really cool.

  • are you able to change the background picture no?

  • that car adapter thing looks to have an ipod 30-pin connector on it.

  • 3 words zune is crap compared to ipod any well maybe except nano 6. put its 100 times moresupperior if comparet to all other music players

  • Zune is teh best!

    Sorry 4 trollin'

  • I dont care about your multi color table man,,,,

  • I'd love to buy one, but I just got an iPod for christmas. Once it breaks (I drop things a lot, lol) or I run out of room, I'll totally buy myself a Zune. Hopefully by then, Zune has more users, the marketplace is a bit bigger, etc etc.

  • No jailbreaking required; it's already cool.

  • i wonder how many of the people commenting, "ipod is better" have done even five minutes of research on mp3 players and/or owned another mp3? sheep...

  • Zune HD is sick but I'm going to get the NGP instead

  • Are there free apps?

    

  • Just got one for 80 dollars of Ebay ;o <3. *Happy dance* :D!

  • itouch is better

  • can you only use songs from the zune wesite or can i download my own using frostwire

  • @clocksmusic yes you can use frostwire like I do :D

  • Anyone know if it's possible to make all of the icons and pictures in the album/artist/songs sections into just words, listed like on the iPod Touch or iTunes? I hate the concept of selecting music via album art or pictures and just want a clean word list interface. So far that's the only thing that's preventing me from getting one, especially since it's cheaper than the 2nd gen iPod Touch I used to have.

  • i just noticed how close the software is between the zune and windows phone,example like iphone and ipod touch.oh yeah i have a question can i get apps without paying the 14.99 month thing?

  • i just noticed how close the software is between the zune and windows phone,example like iphone and ipod touch

  • I dont understand why apps are so important its such a gimmick..if i want to play games ill play my xbox..its not a deal breaker

  • can you add music from your pc directly to your zune? please reply!

  • @makinmeacrazy Yes, all you have to do is download the Zune software, and place your music into the Music Library of you computer. It's super easy, well organized, and has a much better interface than iTunes. Good luck!

  • If the Zune HD had lots of apps it would be the perfect mp3 player.

  • @starwarsfan76 I completely agree.. it sucks how nothing can be perfect :/

  • @StrdayCyphers kk thats what i needed to kno ty^_^

  • ok so i might sound retarded but you can put songs and crap you already have so you dont have to use there14.99 online service right?? plz & ty =^_^=

    -Future Zune Owner-

  • anyone know if they plan on making more apps like apple has done? It doesn't make or brake my opinion of the zune I am still buying the 32 gig HD just because the apps are not worth the extra 75 bucks for a 32 gig Itouch but, it would be nice if they pumped some out for zune

  • I don't know why this thing didn't sell. This looks fantastic.

  • Yay for Zune! The only problem is that if you're going over to Zune from iPod, you have to have a DRM remover.

  • this doesnt have a camera does it?

  • @killingj0ke23 No, sorry to say, but this MP3 player... this music device, does not have a camera like every other little electronic device that you can buy these days. Pity, cause we all needed another one of those.

  • only if microsoft made more apps for it

  • Zune HD 32GB @ Amazon,com for $183. iPod touch 4G 32GB @ Amazon,com for $274.99. Do the math. Zune HD FTW! I'm getting the 32GB version and stop using my iPod touch 3G 64GB.

  • @Snowintosh it lacks the apps and speaker and camera but, that little shit is not worth 100 bucks to me. I just want music

  • @Snowintosh retard

  • at 4:45 you said "for a monthly charge of $14.99 you can access the zune marketplace" - so when you get the zune you at least get a free trial and then if you ever want to access it again (for apps, for ex) you have to pay?

  • @dd0RA1ee All the apps available for the Zune HD are completely free. As far as access to the Marketplace goes, access is always completely free as-well. However unless you pay the monthly fee, you'll be limited to 30 second samples of any music you stream from the marketplace unless you buy the song. If you pay for the $14.99/m subscription fee, you can stream any whole song you want and download and sync them without paying extra. You also get 10 free DRM-Free MP3's a month.

  • Looks pretty good, but I think I'll stick with iPT4.

  • Awesome Vid bro

  • Came here to bash the Zune and say how much better my iTouch is, but actually, it looks pretty cool.

  • This device is phenomenal. It lacks the apps that the iPod has, but I could care less about apps. This is by far the most beautiful interface I've used on a handheld device. Microsoft did an amazing job on this. The price is great as well.

  • Just got mine yesterday! Its awesome! This review convinced me to get it. Thank You!!!!

  • i want a zune now!!!

  • Beautiful eyes

  • i hope the zune hd2 has gingerbread. it would make a cool toy. :)

  • i have mine for over a year zune hd 32 gb its amazing never crashed or anything i cant recommend it enough fantastic device.

  • This is really good,but dedicated music buttons(play,pause, next track,back) will make it even better.

  • I really want this!!!!!!!! XD

  • Damn I liked the purple.

  • that thing has NOTHING on the itouch, just saying. 

  • @AdamIntellectual7 I have the iTouch and I wish I had this. The Zune has the better interface, sound quality, it supports more file types and is the one to buy if you're all about media. The only advantage the Touch has is the app store, but that is not my priority.

  • @AmericanIdleNH I agree 100%, but I'd also like to mention hat it iPod tend to break much more easily. I've put my Zune through a lot and it's just fine. The only one I've heard of breaking is some girl who jumped on it. It still worked, but the screen had a small crack.

  • @pascbjumper2 yea but apple focus on style more than anything

  • @chanson301 By applying a shiny Photoshop effect that I can replicate in 30 seconds or less, onto any image? Yeah, if that's what you consider style, sure...

    However I'd like to say Zune has significantly more STYLE in the area of... actually pulling together a very clean and crisp simplistic look which is as equally functional as it is fashionable. If you can make something look nice without making it super shiny or bright and glowing, you've successfully BEATEN Apple in the style department.

  • @AdamIntellectual7 What is an itouch?

  • @rockgod2131 its " ipod touch" shortened down to just i touch

  • y is it that im having trouble with my zune hd playing my tiesto podcasts????? so right now im using my i think 30 gb zune which is a brick, playing my podcasts, im using my mini zune just for my music and pictures.... so any help or advice would help!

  • Still waiting on the Zune HD2.

  • Everyone has Ipod Touch so imma get this

  • so this thing requires zune to put musik on it?

  • @mammoth777

    MediaMonkey might work with it.

  • could it get a virus

  • @mrsjonas753 Anything could but as far as i know there are no viruses for the zune. infact there is less compatibility so ipods are more likely to get one. haha tables are turned on apple

  • I got one for christmas. it's awesome. :))))

  • @Dust1n1268 me 2 did you get platinum or the black?? how many gigs

  • do i need to buy zune pass to start and account on the zune market place?

  • @GeneticBrand same reason you need an itunes account to get music from itnunes. you can still get apps and podcast etc...

  • oooo shinny :) :) :) :) 

  • The highlight of my christmas right there man.

  • GREEN SCREEN o.o

  • can i plug this in to my car stereo ?

  • Zune= for people who want a media player, iPod= noobs who bragg about bullshit apps

  • Once you know you newegg

  • im soooo dissappointed i have an ipod.....how much does this cost, it looks like the shit

  • Excellent review. I liked that last part about the personal issue LOL. IMO I would prefer the connectivity to be Micro-USB, but thats my opinion.. its like an almost exact copy of Apple..

  • i like the blue velvet

  • At the same amount of memory, does the Zune HD or iPod Touch cost more? I really like the Zune HD but for all I know, its at a pretty high price point.

  • @gundam00lover4eva the Zune HD is substantially cheaper, a 16GB Zune HD will run you about $160, where an iPod Touch will cost you about $235 ( prices by ebay )

  • Ok so do we have to pay the $15 a month to download apps or is it just for movies and music??

  • can i use itunes with this zune?....just wondering since i got a shit load of songs on it

  • @roflsteaksauce are you serious? You own the songs dont you? Then yes , just have to put music on through zune software.

  • @juggalo10101

    if the itunes songs are purchased from the store, then you're kinda screwed there (zune doesn't support AAC format)

  • @ItIshMehXD Microsoft's support site says it has AAC support, check your facts next time. (iTunes distributes .m4a which is apple lossless, a patented aac format.) search 928191 on microsoft's site, result #1.

  • @TehScytheHasFallen

    i'm sorry, you could've just told the person i was replying to instead of telling me, the information's kind of useless to me so I don't check it. Jerk.

  • @ItIshMehXD That's not being a jerk, that's being an asshat because you're annoyed someone is distributing incorrect information. I also happened to buy a zune yesterday (been wanting one for a while, gogo christmas $!) It has fine playback of both .AAC (unpatented codec) and .m4a (patented).

  • @TehScytheHasFallen

    I was just kidding bro, happy new years btw.

  • @ItIshMehXD oh... And a merry one to you too!

  • Hey Zune, WE ALL WANT SPEAKERS BUILT IN...PLEASE!!!

  • i got so excited i downloaded the zune app first then i got the free trial 0_0

  • Im selling my new Zune HD 16 GB. with extras message me if interested!

  • same here hopefully

    

  • does anyone else hate not being able to physically click to change songs?

  • do u need to have the monthly subscription to get access to apps?

  • @prasad604 nope.

  • if you think zune should make a monster energy original like this :)

  • Ahh! Watching this makes me want it even more :D!

    I'm so excited. i'm getting it for christmas woot woot!

  • @xxsashiewashiexx You'll love it! Trust me, Ive had mine for about 10 months now, and Ive had NO problems that my sisters Ipod touch had.

  • @bobbyfishstick5 Ahh yay! aha. i'm just too excited :DDD

  • @xxsashiewashiexx yeah i love it too haha

    im want it bad haha

  • @TheIronBj lol same here.

    20 days til i get to hold it in my hands aheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeee :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • what's the battery life just listening to music? How long will it last?

  • ZUNE should make a monster energy "zune original" i would totally buy it then

  • @volta229 iikr? :D

  • Hey guys I live in the UK and i want to get the Zune HD. Will the radio work here?

  • OMG, you do have Mr. Scruff!! Me too!! haha, its an excellent album + review btw..

  • do you have to pay the 14.99 a month?

  • @shukaku thats just to get music from other people...if you have your own then well...you already have you own lol

  • @xcubestation no, it's not to get music from other people wtf? It's a subscription to their music service that allows you to download music as long as you are paying each month.

  • @tukk3 talking about limewire..

  • @shukaku no. it's optional(:

  • It looks great and all but i had a Zune 120 and my only concern is will it crash after a few months ?... My zune 120 didnt last long and the glitches were so annoying. Me and customer service had an ongoing relationship -.-

  • @sannixus sound like the same thing I had..I had a zune 80 and just a week or so ago..it crashed on me..sent it to them and its unrepairable..and since no longer make it, they goin send me a new Zune HD 32..hell since you got a 120 they will most likely send you a 64 hd

  • thx for the review. i'm heavily considering getting a zune hd. i have a touch, but I wanna use that exclusively for apps and get a great media player

  • ipod touch pwns!

  • but alas no real info regarding format support for video or audio, from what I've read thus far it lacks support for: drag and drop media to device (audio and video), support for two of the most common video formats of H.264 and AVI, whether "ZUNE software" plays nice with media not from the market place both audio and video. some of that may just be a lack of assumption regarding the expectations and minimums of a device in the market, but its things like this that can change purchase interest.

  • Can you put music on the Zune HD or do you have to pay for the music ? Id want to have a player where you can just drag and drop mp3 files onto the player

  • @hbk12fan you can put music on it, its real easy. just drag and drop!

  • @hbk12fan yeah once you go into the Zune software settings, you can tell it to monitor any folders you want for any content you want - music, videos, pictures, even podcasts. These folders will be updated automatically in the software as you add and remove content. Or you could choose to manually manage what content goes on your Zune and essentially just drag and drop (like GermanSoccer618 said)

  • Can you browse the internet and listen to music at the same time?

  • @Varomanxp zune hd

  • lol. i love the randomn rubber spike ball....

  • lol Ipod touch is for those who are computer retarded :)

  • lol. my new ipod touch 4g 32 gb is wayy better than this crap. I bought one of these over the summer and it crashed because it is utterly retarded. I took it back, saved my money and bought a nice new ipod. much happier person. The ipod has 2 cameras, a nice retina display and a sleek background with craploads of apps. the zune? 8 apps. wow. (Oh btw, ive had 3 zunes crash on me. :/ dont buy one)

  • @hjkentproductions Hows that battery life treatin' ya? :)

  • @RLbitClassica Its actually doing quite nicely

  • Zune rocks ur mom sucks...

  • ipod touch 4g is better eat shit zune hd

  • it's iphone copy!

  • wowzerz it be very shinaay

  • ZUNE SUCKS

  • LOL, ooh shiny phase :D

  • So if I plugged in the video cables, could it play on any television?

  • @sunakochan77 yup

  • Apple< Microsoft

  • Not bad if you like to be part of their MS market place. Sort of just waller in market place wonderfulness like a pig in mud. But, to me that looks like a perfect nuisance. Something to navigate around and avoid at all costs. Asking myself, why do I need this thing, there are other players?
