Anyone own a Zune? - 06-04-2007, 11:30 AM


Does anyone here own a Zune mp3 player?

Ive been toying with the idea of picking up an Ipod or a Zune and I know theres much more available for the Ipod but i really like some of the features of the Zune like the larger screen and built in fm receiver

So if you have any experience with the Zune and/or both lemme hear from ya...

My cousin has a Zune. I would pick up a Zune if I could but I already have an iPod video. I'll tell you one thing about the iPod videos, the battery life on those suckers die out real fast.

I've read mixed reviews of the Zune, especially it's bizarre form of connectivity to only other Zunes. If you're looking for iPod alternatives, CNET.com has a great set of reviews I was looking at earlier today that might be interesting for ya. Personally, I like Creative's products, but that's just me.

http://reviews.cnet.com/4321-6490_7-...5.html?tag=img

Check out their reviews - I usually agree with their assessments, with what I've bought anyways. Happy shopping!

the more and more i look im seeing mixed reviews... a few features i like are the larger screen for display pics and movies and the built in fm tuner so i can listen to some sports radio when needed!

im not dead set on any one player so ill continue to beat the bushes and see what happens.. heehee

If my iPod wasn't so beat up, I'd trade that in for a Zune. But here's a plus side for why I picked the iPod. My new head unit in my car is equipped with iPod ready. =D

i tried to set up a zune for my friend. i just remember the interface being cluttered and the software was hard to navigate. but then again, im used to having things simple - ipod nano 8gb and winamp.

the iphone comes out end of this month, which could mean a new widescreen ipod shortly after.. or what about a creative zen vision?
