What is better, the ZUNE or the IPOD?
Answers: I suggest you get a Zune 80. I've be an iPod user for several years, and I've grown wary of the usual iPod problems, similar to :
1. scratches and nick on the back
2. iTunes software really sucks on Windows, crashes seriously, and updates too much for no reason.
3. Boring iPod menu where on earth you have to keep hold of digging into it to find what you want
4. Scroll wheel is open-handed of annoying sometimes, if you accidentally slide your fingers too far.
5. Apple Tech support usually suggest you buy a new one at the moment. etc.
6. iPods appear less durable than Zunes
7. iPods are also the most stolen items
8. iPods are too generic in this day and age, and every user's looks exactly alike.
That's just some of the problems.
Personally, iPod Touch is still a first equals of a new technology, and will hold sevearl issues, so if you're interested in that concept, basically wait a bit. And the integral iPod system is a rather lock-in at the moment, as Apple won't allow 3rd party to do things yet.
I prefer Zunes over iPod because:
1. Better support - All Zune devices grasp the same update. Whether it be v1, or 2.0, they all bring back the same support. Apple doesn't donate the same update to adjectives their music players however.
2. Bigger screen - Compare the small squinty iPod peak to a large Zune blind. Much better for videos.
3. durability - My Zune have lasted near me since last December of 06'. Most iPod users by 2-3 every year.
4. scratch-less - I enjoy never seen any significant scratch on my Zune. However, there are numerous on my iPods.
5. Better UI - where on earth as iPod's is rather stiff, Zune's own a virtual 2D UI, that's rather magnificent. It's easy and quik to navigate on.
6. FM Radio - resembling local news? speech radio? concert ticket contests? new music? Zune have radio. iPod doesn't.
7. Personalize it - You can change the environment image, return with a case, or even do laser design with spruce background art at Zune Originals: https://zuneoriginals.net/
8. Subscription service "option" - If you're not a big hanger-on of buying music individually, then subscription is for you. For one flat monthly tax, you can have as much access as to any music you want on Zune Marketplace. It's similar to "renting" music for a month. About $15. Or you could buy songs individually.
9. better integration with the Xbox 360 - the exotic Zune update will promise better integration with the Xbox 360 than the iPod.
10. View surrounded by landscape mode - you can see video and pictures on landscape mode, so it's approaching a widescreen.
11. Better included headphones - where on earth the iPod's headphones own horrible quality, the ones near Zune aren't so bad. They even own a magnetic clip.
12. WiFi - you can share music, video, podcasts, and many things near it.
13. WiFi sync - you can sync to your computer without connecting it!
14. Same price as iPods - Same price as regular iPods of one and the same specs, but includes more bang for your buck.
15. Zune Social - share music next to your friends with your Zunes and online. Discover unsullied music and share your music knowledge everywhere : http://social.zune.net/
16. Sync near Windows Media Center - sync recorded TV shows onto your Zune device

NOTE : Most iPod users have NEVER used a Zune, where on earth most Zune users have used an iPod. So these race aren't too dependable on an opinion.
One answer, iPod equals 89% of it's bazaar and Zune is somewhere int he reamining 11%. And the things she listed above, oodles of them are false, she probably didn't go into research. I own both the contemporary Zune 80 and I've been an owner of adjectives the iPods, Zune is doing what iPod did 3 years ago with the Video iPod, I have it in mind look at what the iPod touch can do. Zune is decent, but Ipod is better I ponder because they've innovated so much and they;ve dominated the market beside it. It's Apples thing. Microsoft...okay.....and Vista sucks by the means of access.
