Well, a big thing for me that pretty much won me over was the fact that the older Zune's software was being updated even though the older models were not being made anymore. That should be added to your article IMO if I didn't miss it and it actually is in there already, but that's just my opinion.

Nice article.

Another plus I find with the Zune is its huge screen! Watching videos on a Zune compared to a comparable iPod is hands down a better experience.

at the way people act with zune, watching videos on ipods is better because you can actually pay attention to the videos... unlike with zune people all they care about is how better it is than the ipod.

you know its true

examples?
ipod user "wow, james hetfield is really tearin it up on his guitar"
zune user "zOmG ZuNz R00L, iPoD KillA "

ipod user "that girls hot!"
zune user "ApplE ShurR duz sUCK "

ipod user (the porn face)
zune user

Any article stating any reasons why Zune is better than Ipods is good.

not really... if somebody is able to write an entire article on how one thing is better than the other, than just cherishing the item itself, either has alot of free time or no life. not trying to be offensive on the no life part, but im just stating my opinions.

Good article, although like someone else already stated, the author should have included the fact that Zune's software gets updated every generation, which restores their values.

God, this whole "no life" thing is irritating as hell. Can't you people mind your own business? What does his personal life have to do with the anything?

I think anyone who is able to write an entire comment on how one person has no life because they wrote an article about something their passionate about has no life.

Everyone knows opinionated articles are a waste of time, unlike that post.

Guys i wasnt bashing the fact he wrote the article, i jsut find it annoying that alot of zune users basically treat microsoft like a religion "CONVERT TO ZUNE OR YOU WILL BURN IN DIGI-HELL".

the zune is always described as "an iPod Killer". if i wanted an iPod Killer, i would buy this.

Meh...

That lacks the finesse, so to speak, of something like an EMP. Such much more effective, and so much less noticeable, until the iFanboy goes on to turn on their o-so-precious ipod...

And I have never met somebody acting like that. Yes, we tend to try to get people to get Zunes, but we don't go and threaten them. Or, at least, i don't.

Uh...what? I don't think you use your brain much, no offense. Either that, or you're a closet Apple fanboy.

Anyway, good article.

And PS: The Zune IS better for watching videos.

Also, PSS: At the closet Apple fanboy, did you know more Apple fanboys will defend their precious iPod quicker then a Zune fanboy? Because you saying "all Zune people care about is saying how much it's better then the iPod" ...well...I must say, I strongly disagree.

If I read the post wrong, my apologies

My sister got an 80 GB ipod video on the same day I got my Zune 80. I like my Zune way better than her ipod. The screen size, and the zune community.
