not sure.
I’d really recommend Zunes over the iPod, but I suggest you don’t go for the 30GB Zune. It recently had a glitch that made it not work, but the newer Zune models have been made by a different company and these are more reliable and slimmer. Though the 30GB Zune is fine for now.
Here’s why I chose a Zune over an iPod:
1. Nice design – Both are very nice looking, but I think the Zune is better. It’s different, yet cool, and the iPod Classic has too much of a utilitarian look to it, and isn’t as inviting.
2. Hardware – Definitely Zune. The brushed aluminum backside is really scratch free (Apple uses the other scratch-prone aluminum back). The plastic front of the Zune has a nice solid texture. The Zune has a BIGGER glass screen. Makes video viewing great.
3. UI – The user interface on the Zune is much more better and intuitive. The iPod Classic still uses that menu system where you have to keep “digging” in and out to get where you want. Zune one ups it by making it very easy to find what you want in one category, and gets you back to the home screen faster.
4. Customizability – You can change the background of the menu(easy to identify and looks cool), get your Zune a nickname (you have to register, and hope noone else took it), get special laser engraving at Zune Originals ( https://zuneoriginals.net/ ), cases, accessories, and the usual.
5. FM Radio – You can catch radio talk shows, news, sports, radio contests, new music, and a bunch of other radio content with the FM Radio. You can also buy a song from a radio station, if there’s RDS offered.
6. WiFi – You can share songs and pictures with other Zune owners, wirelessly connect to your PC, access the Marketplace store, and instantly update your podcasts
7. Software (computer) – I personally like to manage my music in the Zune software better. iTunes really looks like old spreadsheets compared to the Zune program. Again, the UI on the desktop software is pretty smooth, slick, and simple to go around. Nice transitions, and you can even change the background theme. Also, it uses LESS memory, so it’s not as as bad on system resources.
8. Store – iTunes does have more content, I’ll admit. But the offerings on Zune aren’t bad. It has almost all the tracks that iTunes has, and there’s some TV shows and music videos offered (Increasing every week!). Browsing through Zune Marketplace is cool though! Popular artists have special pages and it looks really neat to browse through. Finding content is much more easier for me. You can also access the store on your device.
9. Zune Pass – This is an optional way of getting music from the store. Instead of traditionally buying music, you can RENT music for $14.99 a month. You have access to almost all of the store’s music tracks, and you can download as many tunes as you want onto your device. After a month, you do have to pay $14.99 to keep your subscription running, or else your songs don’t work. But it’s a great legal way to get tons of music, for a rather cheap price.If that’s not your thing, each song cost 79 points each (99 cents).
10. MixView – On the Zune software, there’s this awesome visualization that comes up when you’re playing a song. You really have to take a look : http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=1dadcc7c-bbed-4e5c-a36a-b6bc44728ed1
11. Games – The latest Zune firmware contains 2 games: Hexic and Texas Hold’Em. More coming soon.
You can DOWNLOAD the Zune software right now, and give it a try : http://www.zune.net/en-us/software/default.htm
Also, the Genius feature on the iPod, doesn’t even compare to the Zunes. Check out any fair review on the web, and the Zune’s Channels and Picks offer a much better music discovery.
