Lisa Gade, Editor in Chief over at Mobile Tech Review posted a nice review of the Zune that I liked and thought you might want to take a look ... especially if you are on the fence on your next player purchase.
Compete with the iPod? You've got to be crazy. That is unless you're Microsoft, with huge OS marketplace dominance, brand awareness, development resources and money to jump into that game. Let's face it, iPod rules ....
| Winner with Comparison Points iPod 1 Here's the easy one: if you're a Mac user and have no Windows PC handy, get the iPod.
Draw 2 Both sound good and come with equally good headphones.
Draw 3 Both are very easy to use and have very good online store and desktop software experiences.
Zune 4 The 3" Zune display beats the iPod Video's 2.5" display.
iPod 5 The iPod is smaller, lighter and more attractive.
Zune 6 The Zune is more rugged.
iPod 7 Apple's iTunes store has 3.5 million songs while the Zune Marketplace has 2 million.
Zune 8 Zune has themes, you can use any photo as a background and display brightness adjustable.
iPod 9 The iPod Video and iTunes Store get you music, podcasts, audio books, TV shows, music videos and movies. Zune Marketplace has only music and music videos for the time being. This is a big deal.
Zune 10 Zune has WiFi, iPod has no wireless. Given current use for WiFi, we're not sure how much of a plus this is.
Zune 11 Zune has an FM radio.
Zune 12 Have it both ways: Zune Marketplace sells content and also offers and all-you-can eat plan for $15/month.
