Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

I have been surfing on the internet more than three hours nowadays, yet I by no means found any interesting post like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made very good content as you did, the net will be much more beneficial than ever just before.

Im not gonna lie, Im truly impressed. Its rare for me to locate something on the internet thats as entertaining and intriguing as what youve got here. Your page is sweet, your graphics are fantastic, and whats more, you use videos which are relevant to what youre saying. Youre absolutely 1 in a million, man!

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so significantly about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I feel that you simply could do with some pics to drive the message property a bit, but apart from that, this is excellent weblog. A fantastic read. Ill certainly be back.

I hope you never stop! This is among the best blogs Ive ever read. Youve got some mad skill here, man. I just hope that you simply dont lose your style because youre absolutely among the coolest bloggers on the market. Please keep it up due to the fact the world wide web requirements somebody like you spreading the word.

Hello,I enjoy reading via your blog, I wanted to leave just a little comment to support you and wish you a great continuation. Wishing you the top of luck for all your blogging efforts.

All I can say is maintain it up. This weblog is so needed in a time when everybody just wants to talk about how many men and women someones cheated on their wife with. I mean, thanks for bringing intelligence back to the internet, its been sorely missed. Fantastic stuff. Please maintain it coming!

Have you ever thought about adding a bit bit much more than just your thoughts? I mean, what you say is essential and everything. But its got no punch, no pop! Maybe in the event you added a pic or two, a video? You could have such a much more potent weblog should you let people SEE what youre talking about as opposed to just reading it.
