I love it. Its screen is larger, it holds more songs, it shows a large picture of the album art for whatever song I play. I can store photos on it and use them as wallpaper. I can download videos onto it. It has a wireless capability so I can share songs with other Zune users within range.

I recommend it to anyone who wants a great MP3 player without feeding the beast that is the Apple Corporation.]]>Aug 29th 2007 5:39PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/Behind the times,

Between Apple's incompatible format, sloooooow (on Windows) ITunes, and copy protection, I think I'll go back to 8-track before I ever buy an iPod. ]]>Aug 30th 2007 1:01AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/Aug 30th 2007 1:28AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/Aug 30th 2007 3:45AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/
Let's just ignore brick-and-mortar stores like Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Circuit City, Sears, K-mart that sell many more units daily than Amazon does weekly overall. Oh, and forget eBay too.

If iPod is THE mp3 player, then why is it when working at Best Buy, I sold about five "non-iPods (you know the writer of an article is a pompous Apple fan when they use terms like this) for every THE iPod.

Because it's over-rated, over-priced, and over-hyped. Screw the iPod, I ain't payin' $350 for an iPod that I can spend $250 on an MP3 player, especially not when I have to spend an extra $50 for a voice recorder and another $50 for an FM transmitter on an iPod that comes free on an MP3 player.

I make a living selling electronics in retail. And from my professional, unbiased (I base things on VALUE and QUALITY, not flock-of-sheep mentality) opinion, I say the iPod is THE MP3 player of choice....for idiots who don't know how to spend their money very well.]]>Aug 30th 2007 5:29AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/Aug 30th 2007 9:39AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/]]>Aug 30th 2007 10:30AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/
Oh that's too funny. And Microsoft isn't a beast of a corporation? The Zune is a joke... brown is a perfect color for it! It will blend right in floating in the bowl where it belongs. The iPod is the number one media player for a reason. Apple makes better products than MS, who do nothing but copy Apple. Windoze included!

"Don't you guys remember the old apple computers from elementary school?" And what else was there? Nothing! That was the first personal computer, before the IBM PC. The Apple II was the best selling computer in history, right along with the Commodore 64. You people are dimwits. You can run OS X, Windows and Linux on a new Mac. Can you do that on a new PC? Nope. And Mac OS X is far more advanced than Vista... and cheaper too. $300 for Vista Pro? What are you crazy? You want the home edition, and they leave out features. And the suckers buy it. OS X comes in one version with everything for $129.

Fact is more people have issues with PCs and Windoze than Macs. If Apple stuff is so bad why do they have the number 1 selling media player, and one of the top 4 laptop]]>Aug 30th 2007 9:52AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/Aug 30th 2007 10:06AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/
Apple is a computer company whereas Creative is the leading multimedia company. They invented the mp3 player, not Apple. Apple simply stole the GUI for their iPod, unfairly dominating the market and causing Creative to lose money]]>Aug 30th 2007 11:10AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/Aug 30th 2007 3:20PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/
Because most people are more interested in looks than performance. Plus "iPod" is a buzzword now, you "need" an iPod to be "cool."

The average consumer doesn't know the difference between the two. Oh, look! This iMac is shiny and colorful! It must be better than those boring beige boxes! Oh, pretty sleek curves! They totally match my furniture! What, performance? Value for money? What's that? My $3000 barely-upgradeable iMac is better than your infinately-expandable, half-priced pc!

Hence the joke, what does an iMac user do when they want to upgrade their iMac? Buy a new iMac.

Have fun when your non-replaceable iPod battery wears out, and you have to ship it back to Apple, where they charge you $100 and send you someone else's REFURBISHED iPod back.]]>Sep 2nd 2007 2:35PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/Sep 2nd 2007 2:35PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/Sep 3rd 2007 7:52PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/Sep 3rd 2007 11:01PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/29/do-you-own-a-non-ipod/Sep 4th 2007 8:36AM
