iphonesavior.comIf it's not enough that iFans are irate when the Zune comes out on top in reviews when pitted against their beloved iPod Classic, they're now taking shots at the Zune Originals.  iPhonesavior.com, a site dedicated to their 'Jesus'-phone, has posted some pretty low-blow images defaming the artistic Zunes.  One might ask, do the iFans understand these are done by REAL artists?  More after the break....

Let's face it, consumers choose an MP3 player because of the sweet designs on the back and because they are limited edition works of modern art. No one cares about function, size, ease of use, on line music stores or a sleek ultra modern design. That's so old school. It's all about the art broseph. It's all about the mad co-branding. Yeah Right! Zuneiacs can only wish that statement was true. 

If that's not enough, they don't seem to understand the meaning of concept art either

Freakin' brilliant! I would buy that Jackass "Fart Mask' model fo sho. When you have something worth making fun of then you really must be onto something good. (Or not! in the case of the Chia pet)

When a market become for a good becomes too heterogeneous , consumers tend to favor a more diversified option. consider the Fords model T. Back in the day it came in fashionable Black. Only Black. Then Chevrolet came in the market with essentially the same car design, Only difference? Color. The Chevrolet took down a large share from the dominant company. The reason this occurred was because Consumer don't like have the same thing as everyone else. They want something that says they are better than the next average Joe.

So how does this Bode for Zune Vs. Ipod? Well essentially all Mp3s do the same thing. Play Music. That's their Purpose. So considering Consumer actions in the past. The company that offers better options that diverge from the typical and the obvious will gain the market share.

well, iFans, the way you described it, the Zune wins either way. Zunes are easier to use, definitely have more function and features, and have the artwork. Oh, and did you happen to hear about the record collections Microsoft is purchasing from record labels to allow Zune buyers to download them free of charge?? Hmmm...

I love it when they try to bash superior technology. The only thing iPod has going is the fact they've been in the industry longer

They have been in the industry longer, and they have a clock. Other than that, the chips they're made out of suck (lost that contract earlier this year for good ones), and that screen you have to squint.
