As was already mentioned the current gen ipods are a bit laggy in the interface. That would make me insane. I have an ipod from the previous generation and still prefer it to the Zune by a good measure.
But it comes down to how you use your device. As much as I like ipods I still think comparison shopping is always a good policy. Make sure to compare built in features and equipment and it might end up being an easy choice for you.
i have gone to the local apple store and played with the ipod and to me it actually seems dated. it was pretty laggy imo and it not having a widescreen really dates it, even though im sure thats why it has a better battery life because of the smaller screen.
when i get off work today im gonna go play with a zune in person, but from what ive seen in videos it looks great, and seems like the ui is really good. if im satisfied with it, ill probably go ahead and pull the trigger on it.
those of you with experience with both itunes and the zune sync software which seems to be the best.
The iPod has absolutely no equalizer capabilities to my knowledge.
How quickly can you scroll through the currently playing song on the zune? I run with lots of 60-900 minute tracks (yes, you read that right)... And the iPod is a joy to scroll through them all.
Now, most MP3 players are lame in their scrolling capabilities... Enyone have any experience with the new zunes?
I'm in Canada, so I can't play with them.
Not true at all. There are presets.
But, uhm, presets are lame.
ok guys i went ahead and got the new 80gb zune today. all i gotta say is that its pretty bad ass. the ui is amazing, the touchpad works great, the screen looks awesome, and the software is pretty good also. my only complaint is that i really wish it had some kind of equalizer so i could customize the sound, my sony walkman cd player has a "fuller" sound. does ipod have any kind of equalizer or sound settings?
Not true at all. There are presets.
But, uhm, presets are lame.
The interface is easy to use and the software, while still sparse, at least seems intuitive enough. But I'd actually say that some UI elements run slowly (you can see the frame rate drop) and that Apple's device is still better for video and podcast management. There's also a lot more selection in the iTunes Store, though sometimes you'll find songs in the Zune Marketplace
