ipod vs. Zune
My boyfriend just bought two Zune players, one 4g and one 80g. I really like them so far, and so does he. We have an older ipod that quit on us, so we went with zune and we are both happy we did. I like how they show the album art and it just looks cooler. Now I dont know much about these things, I was wondering if they are better or worse that an ipod, anyone have any experience with them?
The only thing I find different is that it's microsoft instead of apple. Any other pros and cons to them?

You know that the iPod has been in color and displayed album art for a few years now? And video capability for at least 2 years.
One of the latest iPods - the iPod touch is pretty darn cool. I have no experience with Zune. One thing that you can put on it that you can't put onto iPods is WMA - windows media audio. Although, iTunes let you convert your unprotected WMA files into AAC no problem. I wonder if Zune allows AAC files? I did a quick search online, and it does. That is cool.

Personally I like the iPod better. I got the Touch and am really happy with it so far, and recommend it to you if you can drop the buckage.

I bought the BF an iPod touch for xmas, and he's really enjoying it. It's good cos it allows him to surf the 'net with relative ease; great for internet cafes & stuff.

That is cool and everything but I can go online with my phone... Why would I need to do that on a music player? (and doesnt my phone have an mp3 player in it? Yes, yes it does.) I honestly dont know anything about this stuff... But I hear the touch is really cool too, Ive never seen one. Way to keep 'em, bop! (you know all the tricks...)
