DiggerF16 · 06-24-2007, 11:03 AM

Im sorry but that thing looks fugly.

Aden · 06-24-2007, 11:16 AM

Voip calls.. nb, i wouldnt mind this on the zune. But its looks really ugly and i wouldnt want to go around with that on me. Looks more like a PDA or a Phone than an MP3

anim3soldi3r · 06-24-2007, 11:47 AM

aww sh** will yhis over come the zune? cuz i h8 competition and if it does/ and or will i dunno what will happpen =]

Trogdor · 06-24-2007, 01:29 PM

about a thousand people will buy it most likely it doesnt look like its really something to make a fuss about

smokinspeeds · 07-17-2007, 05:34 AM

there is already at least one wifi player out there, I think it's an archos or something similar, with a web browser (the one thing I wish the zune had) but it's one of those huge players you can't really strap on your arm or belt without feeling like a monkey is tugging at you. Just because one feature may be better means nothing. I doubt it'll have the well-rounded attractive features the zune has not to mention anywhere near as much advertising for people to even find out about it.

Looks decent but I'm still more into the idea of a 60 or 80gig zune...

KYSL · 08-12-2007, 12:16 AM

hey, iriver DOES make ipod-killing stuff. so they're our allies?

ACE · 08-12-2007, 12:51 AM

this is more of a PDA and not a DAP

bald_gye · 08-13-2007, 06:44 AM

tbf i think the zune is the only wi-fi mp3 player thats wi-fi is pointless

CameleonMK · 08-13-2007, 06:49 AM

It's not completely pointless.

I like the Zune's WiFi. I think what it needs to change to is a wireless guest sync type of thing. I send it to you, you listen to it as much as you want, but you can't put it on any other computer. I think it would work well, and everyone would be happy.
I'm also getting pretty sick of hearing about how crappy the Zune's WiFi is, it's a good idea and it works well. Problem is finding enough people with a Zune to use it on. I can guarantee you, if every iPod had WiFi and 3 days or 3 plays people would love it, they get to sample songs and see if they like them, outside of the 30 second preview.

The problem isn't the WiFi, it's the lack of Zunes. It needs to be marketed to be successful, but unfortunately commercials aren't seen very often. When I see one it's surprising. When I see an iPod or iPhone commercial, I yell "APPLE SHOULD DIE!".

Tell people they can walk down the street, find new music and listen to it as much as they'd like. If they can do that, we'll have 10 million Zunes in no time.

They could also make it so that you can't add it to a playlist, that as well as not being able to send it to the computer are already in place. So all they would have to do is comment out the lines that limit it to 3x3

I Still think sending pictures is cooler than sending songs. It might take you hours to find a single picture on the internet, but geting the songs you want is easy, torrents,limewire,etc.
