    | you mean Zune? here's a comparison chart and some side by side images . . . MP3 Players personally I'd go with Zune, because it seems like everybody has an ipod, and I'm not much of a 'go with the flow' kind of guy  |

| One of the supervisors at my store (an Apple type product shop) was dragged over to the Best Buy near us by the local news people. Best Buy had to break out four of them before they could find one that worked. Now the Zune has some new stuff that I would like to have. Like the bigger screen, wifi, ect. But they didnt do these things right. The wifi is only for transfer between two Zunes. and the songs you transfer can only be played three times. i was hopeing for an on the go music store or something. I thought this had some good points. SCI FI Tech | SCIFI.COM And just wait for the full face ipods to be announced at MacWorld in January. Its not that Im a major Apple fan, its just that I havent seen anyone get it as right as Apple. |

| Almost makes you feel bad for Microsoft... Almost. Although I hate iTunes 7 and there are some playback features lacking on the ipod.... I still <3 mine. |

| I actually prefer winamp. I'm an old fan of them but since I have my vido ipod, i'm pretty much forced to use itunes. It's an alright app. But I just like my winamp. |

| I use the creative. The IPOD was about as stable as my gran after a round of Christmas Sherry, and died completely far too soon. Shame since the IPOD was by far the easiest and most comfortable to use, and the only things the Zen can do the pod can't is act as a external Hard drive (which I don't use it for) and pick up FM radio (which I erm, don't use it for). Also none of the music I got from iTunes works with the Creative, and you really have to jump through hoops to convert it into mp3s (you can do it, but they(you know, the man) obviously don't want you to do it). The Zune could have been a contender, but M$ thought they could muscle their way in as much as they often do in a market they didn't already control. It's a shame because with the application of intelligence M$ has the resources to produce a very good product, they just don't want to. As for the full screen ipod, I think I've seen pictures of it about six months back, it wasn't clear then if it was an actual product or a mock up, but if it's real I may be interested in it. |
