hm. I'm sure all four people with Zunes will be bummed they didn't wait for this one to come out. The other guy who waited is SO jazzed.

looks good actually

HD radio would be the big point for me depending on the price could be the cheapest way to get it in my car as long as it works in Australia

i wonder how much it will be since even a basic HD radio is about $250 here

Naaa, those four people are just going to buy the new one.

And then all those millions of Xbox owners will buy one too.

They usually keep the price below the iPod's. I hope they keep it the same.

 

[JasunStrikesBack]

OK, but why would xBox owners buy one?

complete xbox integration with games, video, and eventually music and all other xbox live services.

Kiss battery life goodbye if it has HD. The chips suck current.

umm and you know this how exactly

HD radio is not really any different to regular radio just switched over to digital so cd quality as compared to the crap we have now

and i know there is a huge difference between my iphone and normal radio switching from on to the other it is really noticeable

I doubt battery life is gonna be bad. The OLED screen keeps the use of energy low on the battery, and HD radio isn't that crazy.

And the chip set is the most advanced right now. Made for portable devices like that.

It's crap.
Zune is a swear word!
You will all burn in hell!
If the Sodomy thing doesnt do it, not hating "The Zune" will.

I love when Apple fanboys can't find anything real to complain about. It's so funny.

Yeah, I find the Apple fanboys entertaining for that reason.

I don't see any problems with either zunes or iPods.

Depending on price and how much storage it will have, this might be a good alternative to the iTouch.

Try shitty OS.
And I am not an Apple fanboy
I got an Xbox360, and I'm a .NET developer

You can always tell when someone has never used a Zune.

People who have never used a Zune always bashes the OS, thinking it is bad, unreliable etc. The Zune software, IMO (and a lot of other opinions) is better than the regular iPod's.

Not to mention the build quality on a Zune is amazing. It just feels completely solid. And if you drop it, no scratch usually. The software is also solid too.


You are still cracking me up though. Pulling at strings is always fun to watch.
