Some people said it was stupid for Microsoft to make their own OS, but they did anyway. Some people said it was stupid to go against Netscape Navigator, but they did it anyway. Some people thought it was dumb to question WordPerfect's authority. And there were of course many people who raised eyebrows when Microsoft announced that they were going to jump into the console gaming market with their Xbox. Microsoft has a history of making controversial and disputed decisions, and somehow..they still manage to climb to the top of all the markets they enter. I wonder what they have in store for us with the Zune.. Microsoft will want to keep up with its reputation. Logged

But to invade Apple with an OS, Sony with a Console, and again Apple with an iPod, its more than just money. Logged

srsly, <3 Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 187	I've been looking at a new MP3 player recently, and its come down to a 30Gig Ipod Video, or a 30Gig Zune. A friend of mine has the former. It's nice, but I'd really like to get my hand on a Zune and take it for a "test ride". Too bad a release date hasn't even been set for Canada yet. :'( Logged

The Zunes don't look bad, actually. But I already have a 30GB Black iPod 5G(video), and I love it, although I could go for a bigger screen. But my iPod still has much life left in it. I'll probably keep it until an iPhone w/ 30GB+ HDD come out, or perhaps.. something else, I don't know

(but that iPhone does look nice.. but why will it only come with 8GB of Flash memory, though ;_;).

Oh yeah, and aside from the fact that the screen is a slight bit smaller than I'd like.. the 5G iPod smudges and.... SCRATCHES... soooo easily ;_;. I take such great care of mine. I keep it in a nice case for ALL activities except photo/video viewing, and yet it still looks like a car ran over it :'(. Oh well, it's beautiful for the first few hours ...

Oh, and yeah, getting a Zune at any point would be a slight set back to me. Seeing as how I've already converted quite a few videos to the wonderful H.264 format, and already have my music organized in iTunes! Also, if I ever need it, the cross-OS abilities of the iPod are nice.

Oh, and with my only 40GB computer storage space. I use my iPod as an external hard drive, quite a bit. The Zune cannot do this =o.

srsly, <3 Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 187	the ipod video and the zune actually have the same screen resolution, just a different sized screen. i think i still prefer the zune screen size. even though the resolution is the same, it will be a lot easier to see. Logged

Yeah, I would also like the extra size. The pixels on the iPods screen are tiny, and squished very, very close.
A bit extra room wouldn't kill the resolution of 320*240.. it would just bring out the fine details(as 'fine' as 320*240 gets(on a tiny screen though

))!
