Apple Ipod vs Microsoft Zune

[Camgen6]

The Zune came out just recently, medyo bulky pero mas malaki ang screen size compared to Ipod. Pwede daw mag transfer ng songs from Zune to Zune pero up to 3 plays or 3 days lang yata tapos nun it won't play. Uhmm and now I'm wondering if will out sell the Ipod? Everytime I go to electronics store laging nakikita ko may bumubili ng Ipod. Ika nga nila eh "they sell like hotcakes.

iPods are nice. I haven't seen a Zune yet. So no comment on that one. I much prefer a portable player with native Divx/mpeg plus drag and drop capability.

Ipod pa din. but i'm seriously thinking of getting the Nokia N73 music edition with 2GB

da MS Zune shows a lot of promise from a technical standpoint. nagkulang nga lang sa overall implementation. yung integration ng wmp11/urge with the player needs a lot of improvement. the interface, is slow and clunky compared to itunes. but it's good enough effort considering that it's the first incarnation of the product. wifi feature needs to be more flexible. di ma-access ng ibang wifi devices like phones and macs! ok sana zune to zune sharing ng songs pero hirap maghanap ng ibang consumers na may zune din. hope our more talented hackers/programmers develop middleware to get through that 3plays or 3days shared song limit.

Seems like iPod still wins. Haven't heard much of zune lately.

I'm more concerned about which one handles non-drm stuff better such as mp3, X-Vid/Divx/avi/mp4,. I want one primarily for watching video clips. Softwareless drag and drop capability is also preferred but not absolutely required. So far, the iPod looks the better one even though it still requires iTunes for putting stuff in.

if it weren't for the limitations (price, capacity, overall value) of the memorystick, i'd recommend a psp for your needs.
