zune 80 or itouch

[sk8er209]

i know everyone here is a zune lover but i need to know which one to get because i could get either one for hundred dollars. I only have about 5 gigs of music and stuff so which one would be better for me. Some facts plz.

itouch you can surf the net...
but if your posting here your mind is subconsciously made that you want a zune

[Zuune]

ZUNE all the way unless you absolutely need a touchscreen or need to browse the internet while in a wifi "area".

unless you are in a city with lots of wifi the ipod touch is a glorified huge nano.

It depends on what you're looking for in a player. Consider how fast your music library is growing, how large your video/music/photo collection is, if you don't mind having to look at your player every time you want to change something, how long you plan on having the player before upgrading, and if you want to have everything with you at one time. You should compare the specs of each device and see which one is what you're looking for. Read online reviews as well and look and see what problems people are having with both devices.
iPod Touch
Zune 80

I actually don't know the answer to that one...I think that you can buy them, but I'm guessing that free games would only come through hacks. I suggest going to iLounge.com. They have reviews, tutorials, etc. They don't talk too much about hacking, though. You would have to Google that unless someone else here knows.

EDIT: I just checked iTunes and see no games specified for the iPod Touch. I have no idea basically .

[sk8er209]

well thanks four your help i added one rep for u stkr:]
if anyone knows about this please tell me it would really help me make my decision.

I looked around to see what I could find and I found these sites:

http://www.ipodtouchgames.com/
http://myijump.com/iportal/ipod_touch_games_usa/

I didn't see anywhere detailing how to get games on the iPod Touch. It's something you'll have to look for.

Glad I could help.

Are these the only choices? Would you really use the extra features on the Touch? That's the only way it's worth it. If you're gonna spend 90% of your usage time listening to music, and you only have 5GB of music, neither of these is a very good choice. If you're gonna jailbreak the Touch, bring it to its full potential, it's the better buy of the 2.

you can jailbreak your ipod touch just like the iphone, then you have access to lots of 3rd party apps that you install directly on the device. most of the games arent any good but there are some pretty nice ones.

[runtohell121]

i'll actually say Zune 80, the apps when you jailbreak it, not many good apps.. and it cost money for full version apps always.. i own an iphone at this moment.. so i know.. but for video watching if you actually need it.. itouch screen is pretty bright.. but for more memory for best price.. i'll say zune 80

[eljoy]

If its for music quality the zune nothing else, but if you want the whole package the iphone is the best not the itoch.

[birdman]

I was messing around with one of my friends' itouch and i have to admit it was pretty fun, he found a hack/mod/whatever where he put instruments and games on it and it was enjoyable to play with the touchscreen, and easy to surf around on the net



but zune is still what i use, and will use, until forever

[sk8er209]

i think i'll go with the ipod touch and if don't like it i could most likely sell for more then i bought for and get the zune 80 thanks for the help everyone.

[Espich5150]

it is whichever one you want. make a pros and cons list.

If you only have 5 gigs worth of stuff then go with the iPod Touch. The biggest drawback of it is its low capacity but it should be enough to accommodate your media.
