Answers: I'd grasp an ipod touch if you can live with 8 gb. Actually, who would use more than that for music? I also own a zune 30 and own used a zune 80. I might sell my zune on ebay because I really dont believe its that good. I don't close to apple's dominance, but if it "works", then i'm not one to complain. Life is
too short anyway. Here's why i'd take an ipod touch over a zune 80:
*Memory Type
-Flash memory is more durable than hard drive memory. Plus its quicker too and you can hurry with it w/o breaking it. This ability it will last MUCH longer if you rob good fastidiousness of it
*Battery Life
-Slightly higher than zune 80
*Screen
-.3 within larger than zune 80. It really makes the diffrence!
*Screen Resolution
-Much superior video resolution than zune. Videos, photos, and album art will look better! With a zune, its blindingly obvious that EVERY video is "fuzzy". The touch's resolution is 480 x 320 while the zune is 320 x 240
*Weight
-Weighs smaller amount than a zune 80 at 4.2 oz vs. zune 80 4.5 oz
*Thin-ness
-Touch is MUCH thinner and less bulky than zune
*Wireless
-You CAN budge on the internet (unlike the zune) if you find a wi-fi hotspot. Hardly anyone cares something like DRM-ridden sharing songs on a zune or the REALLY slow wireless sync (its not "wireless" actually, you own to have the zune plugged -in to a power source)
*Accelerometer
-Can scenery photos and web-pages whichever way you approaching. When listening to music, this activate cover flow
*Youtube
-Looking for something funny or cool? Think videos are too expensive close to me? Youtube!
*Buy music wirelessly
-Cant get a song out of your lead? Buy it in ANY wi-fi hotspot!
*Software
-Itunes get the job done. Couldn't vote the same when using my zune 30 next to the zune software. The itunes software didn't crash my computer, less clear intensive, and it was MUCH easier to plan my songs. Plus, there is no confusion when buying songs. A song on zune costs 79 "microsft points" while itunes charges 99 cents.
*Music store screening
-Itunes has twice as lots songs. Plus it has TV shows and movies
*Navigation
-The zune's navigation is better, but once you use touch-screen technology, you will never go stern! Easier and quicker to find anything I need!
*Cover flow
-This is really cool! It loads album art quicker than the classic or nano!
*Accessories
-There is a undamaged market steadfast just for ipods. No kid!
*Support
-Apple has really nice support. You can buy an extended warranty if you want. If they cant fix it, they will transport you another one for free. Plus, there are more ipod-related question on CEQnA.com tahn there are zune. That vehicle you'll more likely be capable of troubleshoot if anything goes wrong
*Cross platform compatibility
-Zune ONLY works near a PC. iPod works with BOTH laptop and mac
*Software updates
-If there is any itunes software problems (bugs for instance), apple updates its software WAY more than microsoft does for the zune software. This resources, if you run into any trouble, its more likely to be fixed by apple
*Clock
-While a small side, this is WAY more important than you might guess!
Zune is o.k. if your looking for a cheaper gift. iPod would be a accurate gift. Archos 605, its clad, but I'd go iPod.
