I'm not really a fan of MS and definitely not a fan of Apple(don't like how they attack MS in their commercials with their lies) but I still used to own an ipod nano. as a matter of fact, I owned three. I have to admit that they were great players, Unfortunately I lost my third one and was tired of gettin the same thing over and over. I realized that a majority of the people already owned an ipod and I just cant stand to flow with the current so I wanted to get something different. I wasnt sure about the zune, so I was gonna go ahead and buy an ipod video until I saw my friend with a zune. I got to use it for a bit and it just felt wonderful in my hand. It was more comfortable to hold than the ipod and the features were great. I also liked the fact that it was more customizable than the ipod. So I eventually saved up enough money to buy a zune (black) and as soon as I got it, I knew more about it than my friend did, Im just that kinda person. As soon as I got it hooked up I immediately started lookin for hacks (like I did for the psp) and I found a good amount. I really dont know why so much people had trouble with the software, I installed mines in under 30min. It took that long due to the update. It seems that alot of people are lookin at the faults that the zune has and ignoring the faults that the ipod has. One of the most important features that I recognized in the zune software was the guest mode and alot of people seem to overlook the fact that itunes doesn't even have a guest mode (I have mistakenly erased my friends ipods because of this). People also complain about getting music and videos on their zune. there are tons of converters on the market to solve this problem and alot are free, Total Video Converter is a really nice one that comes with a conversion mode for the zune. Overall, I am enjoying my zune more than I have ever enjoyed my ipod and look forward to going up to one of my friends who has an ipod and asking them to send me a song.....that would be hilarious, lol
