New: Zune HD vs iphone [Comparism + Hands on]

[lostintimeline]

the ipod touch is like the mp3 version of nitendo ds its great for playin games do some facebook and listen to music and take a pic or 2 but zune hd is THE BEST for what an mp3 player should be to LISTEN GREAT MUSIC IN GREAT QUALITY.the hd doesnt have an app store but it has an hd quality an oled screen a radio hd and id rather put lots and lots of albums and videos than fill the zune with stupid games and have to eat memory and listen the same albums again like in the itouch so ZUNE WINS

[elperrob0rracho]

haha iphone is the best

[aquino305]

Every company beats Microsoft in mp3 players and consoles

[elperrob0rracho]

@aquino305 in mp3 YES but in consoles NO are you crazy xbox is the best!!!!!;)

[107jm]

@aquino305 Are you Stupid or something?

Do your research.

[Angel15780]

It sucks I rather get an iPod touch

[maniac893]

The Zune is shit. Wait till the second generation comes out.

[ladygagaharrypotter]

I love Zune HD! It's No.1 Media Player!...

[elperrob0rracho]

@ladygagaharrypotter ipod touch is the number 1 media player you idiot

[nowak101]

how is the touch screen on that thing it looks awesome!

[Angarsk1991]

The Tegra chip alone kills anything apple makes =]

[PERZN4LIFE]

@johnbaine2 Microsoft is not going down....heck they are making the new coffee-table computer which is 100 times better than that stupid i-pad <------is totally useless.

[herojohan88]

Iphone FTW

[guitarpick95]

APPLE SUCKS!!!!!

[elperrob0rracho]

@guitarpick95 your ass sucks

[kickflipmaster88]

wtf this isnt a commparison this is just looking at the zune hd the whole time

[ZronZ]

@kickflipmaster88 so what? the zune owns the iphone so there ya go.

[Prplbunny]

I have an itouch (I watched this video on it) and my friend got a zune. I like the iPod a lot better. I do t know why it just seems smoother to use! 

[pshyeah1128]

*WEAK*

[eckounltd956]

IPOD'S OWN ZUNESS!!!!!!!!!!

[DC200560]

If Microsoft expects this to compete with the Ipod Touch, they'd better get their collective asses in gear. Open-source SDK, asap. The Zune HD has a lot of potential, and I'd hate to see it fail.

[CarbineGuy]

They will get an SDK out, they said they would.

[AncientofAncients]

I dont think microsoft want the 99c store experience with any of there app stores.

keep premium content in its own shop and keep the rest of the cheap little nasties in another shop all together.

theres no need to put the 2nd hand rust buckets in the same show room as the ferarris.

80,000 apps is too many for me to even attempt sorting though.

[DC200560]

Make it so the developers have to pass an evaluation before they get publishing rights. Simple.

Microsoft cannot compete with the sheer amount of apps that are available on the App Store. Not by themselves. They're gonna need a lot of help from good third-party developers.

[AncientofAncients]

first party devs will have to create killer apps to grow zune market share. and market share will help ipod devs bite the bullet on porting and 3rd party dev's jumping on board.

the 12 hour app port from ipod to zune was a gimmick aimed at apple devs if ever i saw one

if apples key apps jumps on board, thats half the battle won. right now, theres no real incentive with zune numbers so low...

[wdililn]

coincidentally, Microsoft DID release an XNA developer's package for the HD, but that's only for game development.

[che007]

naw actually the only reason i dont get an iphone is because at&t sucks..

[Intrumwow]

People who say ipods suck cant afford them. Simple as that. Same story with the iphone.

[davegreensucka]

how bout people that say ipod are for close minded fags

[sohappywhenxyousmile]

Wow. Talk about mainstream conforming.

[24ecko]

youre such an ignorant retard

[CarbineGuy]

Wrong.

[phonedogfan]

no man i got the ipod nano 4th gen and it sucks so bad im getting myself a zune hd.

[nowedarkstar96]

lol. comparing it to a cell phone? why not compare it to a touch? hahaha. stupid people :)

[Smmithyyy]

Doesn't have an app store.

I expected better if they actually want to try and rival an iPod touch.

[billooboy66]

WOW! ever wanted to do some research before u speak. zune hd HAS an app store stupid. sorry for being rude but almost everyone knows that

[Smmithyyy]

is it anywhere near as good as the apple store?

No

It's, frankly, a bit shit.

[billooboy66]

thats true it does suck but thats how the touch started too when it first came out. i had one and it was crap. then they came out with alot of good ones and thats how it started. btw zune hd is comin with full 3d xbox 360 games later this year.

[Smmithyyy]

yeh but thats exactly the problem, microsoft have released this too late, and not planned far enough ahead.

This needs to be 2 years ago, with a fully functioning app store to compete with Apple.

[vlaxatron]

Do You Think That They Will Make A Halo App Or Call Of Duty App

I Sure Hope So...

[MaxxG0]

iPod is better

[halfingr]

The iPhone is better than the Zune HD, I have to agree... Because it has a phone. Big deal.

But, if you compare ANY of the Apple products with the SAME GENERATION ZUNE, the Zune completely owns in every quality, except for the first Generation Zune classic battery life.

OWND YOU CANT DENY POD-TROLL!

[MaxxG0]

NERD!

Youre angry because i like iPods? Get a life loser

PWND

[halfingr]

Heh... Not too bright are you.

The only reason you like iPods, is because you touch yourself at night.

[MaxxG0]

What?! That doesn't make sense. The zune hd is a copy of the iPod touch/iPhone and everyone knows that

[halfingr]

Actually, Microsoft had touchscreens BEFORE the FIRST iPod touch came out, but they were paired with smartphones that ran windows mobile.

Apple took the touchscreen concept to a whole new level with the iPod Touch techology, and Microsoft has been trying to keep up, because Apple got a head start on the touchscreen market.

Anyway, you don't know bunk about how different ZHD is to the iPod touch. Your powers of observation are obsolete if you think 'the ZHD is a copy of the iPod Touch'.

[Sladeakakevin]

Why on earth would you compare a Zune HD to a iPhone

[cMARVEL360]

Because Apple nut riders are retarded and ignorant. And also belive that the iphone is the exact same thing as an ipod touch.

[vlaxatron]

Seriously The Only Difference Between Ipod Touch And Iphone Is Iphone Has A Camera And Its A Phone Thats The Only Difference

[caskin8a]

and gps and microphone and 3g data.. y'know stuff that makes it more useful than just playing solitaire and listening to britney spears.

[Senthel99]

i pre-order one !! hell yeaa

i cant wait for 9/15

[Lbjkurono23]

two more days :D

[IKnowCiao]

I know cant wait :D I pre ordered it online frm walmart

[TheDuongman]

its comming with speaker and mic recently annouced

[phonedogfan]

NCsurenoX3 makes alot of sense in that one like i have a ipod nano i hate it so thats why im selling my psp to get the zune hd!

[beastandthemom]

im getting ipod touch 3g instead of zune hd because of apps and jailbreaking and bigger screen and just a cooler layout.

[monkeyboy82495]

oh and will it come out in different colors in the store or only online?? i want a blue one

[urmother665]

only online on zune originals

and im getting a blue one too aha

[monkeyboy82495]

i cant wait but my dad insists that i wait a month or so. just incase there are any bugs like with his palm pre :P

[osamiii324]

is it possible that the zune hd can sync with itunes?? or is it like mac compatible?? also i think apple will be winning this game for a long time with there hit app store. i really like this thing cause of the animations and design but i still love my 3gs more. i wanna get this to see how it is. can u jailbreak this thing as well? this comment will follow with another person saying i dont know anything, and more hate comments because i like apple....

look up (OPINION) in the dictionary!

[NCsurenoX3]

no the Zune HD cant sync with itunes and there will not be a mac version of the zune software

also this thing WILL HAVE A APPSTORE

yes you can jailbreak it like you can do with almost any consumer electronic

but if you really do like apple you know how to run windows on your mac and will do so just you can play with this absolutely stunning piece of technology

cuz thats what im doing

[willman1661]

this looks nice, but i think the ipod touch is better. ipod touch makes is really easy to get apps and stuff plus apple OWNS music. but the zune hd acctually looks nicer then the ipod touch in pictures

[NCsurenoX3]

the fuck are you talking about? you can OWN(lol)

your music on the zune software

you have two options with zune

1.ZUNE PASS

15.00 dollars a month UNLIMITED MUSIC DOWNLOADING AND STREAMING and you get to choose 10 songs every month and KEEP THEM PERMANENTLY whether you decide to stay with zune pass or not

2.

second option is buy songs or albums with real money

easy enough hope i helped

[willman1661]

apple owns the mp3 player industry,

i am very familur with zune since i had one and i still use it to purchese music since all songs on the zune market place are about 99 cents in real money... but more people have ipods, some people at my school dont even kno what a zune is

[NCsurenoX3]

that doesn't really make since

so because more people have ipods that makes it better than the zune or any other mp3 player that's out there?

[willman1661]

it means the zune and other mp3 players with make less sales

[gorillaboy74]

who gives a damm. the only thing is...do u want the zune...who cares if they they know of it or nott. nd the zune is cheaper than the ipod touch and comes with a HD and FM radio tuner and did i forget to mention that a 8GB ipod touch used 2 cost 60 dollars more for half the memory?? im like apple is good in all, but ive been waiting for this for a very long time sooo i ll deff b changing.

[willman1661]

cool, i think that there is an app for fm tuner though on the ipod touch, let me get back to u on that

[Snwykid]

Screw 99cents.... Dude use Legalsounds. legalsounds(dot)com

[davidoffone53]

You must compare it to the iPod Touch!!!!!!! The zune is NOT a phone idiot!

[CODYKINSisHXC]

no shit, but its the exact same thing without the phone/mic and its faster

[TheIpodRevolution]

I heard that the zune it's based on windows ce, that means a lot of programmers writing code for this device in many programming languages like visula basic. Nice!!!!

[TheHydrolics24]

howed u get the zune hd

[iboy38]

Why iPhone? Why can't they compare it to the iPod touch?

[DanielSevilla17]

I know right

[gamealcohol]

maybe when he was there there was no ipod around?

[austin7809]

If i was the guy holding the zune HD id make a run for it with the Zune HD.

[BeatFaceBass]

wtf i want to reply to someone y is my comment up here?

[DanielSevilla17]

hehehe

[geodillo]

they shouldn't compare an mp3 with a phone

[KrazyKuul111]

where is this at anyway?

is it a private convention or something?

[MrTinkertrainTV]

it maybe smaller but i think its also thinner so u got ur good and bad

[Rice8Daddy]

I though Apple has about 70% of the portable music industry?

[BeatFaceBass]

ytftf

[musefusemuse]

thats actualy 70% with the nano... and liike i think last time i read, microsoft has about 2 percent of the markett.....

[PAPERCLlPS]

Not all about market share though...

[NM2HI2TX]

what a dumb fuk of course it is smaller then the iPhone. The itouch is SmallER then iPhone. Why CAUSE THEY ARE NOT PHONES!!!

[BeatFaceBass]

ur the real fool

[rolandsquare]

Look, I agree with you BeatFace, But don't be a smartass and use text language like "ur", you have a full keyboard, use it, jesus christ. You sound like a fool as well.

[me2goodfoyou]

im so f#$ing pissed. i dont know if i should buy this, an ipod touch or just a really expensive phone that can do all th things this $250 device does. i also cannot decide on what games to buyhthis winter/fall. I aso need a ew monitor to play games on.... f all this technology, it comes and goes like the wind

[jakendrbe]

get the zune hd

call of duty MW2

and for monitor 28 inch hanns g

[NGT2O6]

its a great thing, cause ten u have different choices ^^

[ZssJCrissZ]

you guys know that there gonna make an ipod touch 3rd gen with a camera and better battery life but i think im still gonna buy the zune hd because itz original

[brr404]

camera on a PMP is useless they are just making it into the iphone just without the texts.......

[ZssJCrissZ]

no i think itz pretty cool to have a camera on a mp3/ipod i wouldnt say its useless

[Rice8Daddy]

Camera on an mp3 player had been done like.... 4 years ago? Something like that.

Clearly Apple had raw out of ideas to improve on their product and simply wanted to make a new one so they would make more money.

[rolandsquare]

I'm pretty sure the point of a company is to make money.

[gorillaboy74]

mannnnn this is what we ve all been waiting 4! ive been wanting zune 2 make a damm multi touch mp3 player 4 a longg time. nd now they hav done itt. nd done it well. their animations always fascinated me but i always found tha zunes too bigg but noww theyve gone small. wayyy smallll. sooo i will most deff b getting this on Sept. 15

[monkeyboy82495]

damn it is it sept 8th or 12th? im hearing both days are release days and im dying to find out the exact date

[gorillaboy74]

sept 15th is the official release date. i got that off the microsoft store itself

[monkeyboy82495]

thanks 4 the confirmation p.s great name XD

[AKAxanman96]

The only thing that sucks about it is that its 4rm microsoft P.S. Red Ring Of Death

[TheDjo95]

so im gonna get the red ring when i buy the zune HD!!! OMG IM totaly not buying it !!! dude kmon its one microsoft product that has a screw up,is there anything that happens to the zune,like ipod touch gets bricked! probly not

[AKAxanman96]

im just sayin dats a problem that happn to alot people includin me but i havny ever had a problem wit the zunes so far

[jakendrbe]

yeah

[kelidoscopegod12]

olny on the 360, and its not that bad, i've fixed it

[AKAxanman96]

How did you take it apart

[kelidoscopegod12]

all i did was shut off the system... nothing more.

[themister969696]

Then throw out your computer because chances are your using XP/ Vista.

[mortalmisfit]

I'm really interested but I still need to know first on battery life and I hope this time around it includes an equalizer. If both are good or great then it's a definite buy.

[GodOfThunder6661]

Hey mort from a few things i have read it seems it has up to 7 hours of life when watching vids on a full charge

[mortalmisfit]

Thanks for the info GOT6661

[GodOfThunder6661]

np bro

[ElParcero7]

i'm Ready To Buy Zune HD, I Can't Wait

Sobre Todo Cuando Se Lance En Latinoamerica

[315826]

yea you cant compare a phone to a mp3... you would have to compare the itouch with ZuneHD

[burnthemap10]

holy crap that video that it showed looked so freaking amazing/the hd makes it so much better/but like ive said on other vids bout the zune is that the only thing that makes the apple ipod "better" is the apps but if ur crazy about zune u wont give a crap

[genestarwindjf80]

You can't compare a mp3 player to a phone people.

[chltmdwp]

i don't know how zune got popular so fast than sony walkman or other mp3 players on the market

[shaqgotcash]

good advertising

[chltmdwp]

I agree. Sucks for Sony and Samsung, who are one of the largest companies in the world.

[BlueFlashProductions]

Zune's had a a fairly big fanbase prior to the HD, but people are realizing the Zune HD could take a big bite out of the PMP market, probably.

[markmorgan95]

zune need to make a phone i think it would very good!

[Rice8Daddy]

I sure hope not... mainly because MS probably won't release the phone in Europe and I will be forced to look longingly across the pond, although I recently changed from SE to HTC and I love it!

[AuzieAusborne]

that is one FINE mp3 player, i mean look at that screen, ahhhhhhhh..........no doubt that i will buy it;

[TheoryGt]

yeah me to i played with ipods and i didint really like them...but i have 3 zunes and love em.

[havokauto]

what do you think will be better i personally think that if ipod lovers give it a chance they will be quite surprised
