They really are, better sound quality, HD screen and unlimited song downloads for 15$/month. They just don't market it as much as apple products.

I agree, other than their limited "apps". Though, I don't use a Zune or Ipod myself.

They just don't market it as much as Apple's products Well then who's fault is it? Apple doesn't even need to market the iPod anymore. The Zune HD is a great product, if Microsoft, you know, tried to market it at all, I'm sure it would have made a dent in the iPod's sales.

Well because I am not an audiophile, I do not need crystal clear images, and I download P2P, I'll stick to my iPod. Though if given a second chance I'd get a Zune.

[/quote] Do they have touch screens? Do they have awesome FREE apps (jail broken), do they have cool-ness written all over them? Tell me, how many of your friends have a Zune... Also, how does it have better sound quality, the last time I checked sound quality differ's from the headphones and not the Mp3, even if it supposedly has "better sound quality" unless you can measure it (which you can't) there's no way of proving this.

The only reason why I don't have much peers with Zunes is because they don't market it as much as apple does.

[/quote] The sound card, EQs, and how the sound card is placed/used makes a difference in the player's own sound quality.

True. I would have gotten a zune, if not for the touchitude.

Personally, I disagree. Plus, I saw Bill Gates secretly listening to an iPod at a Starbucks.

[/quote] So does Apple. iPhone, Macbooks, iMacs, MacPro, Snow Leopard, and now the iPad. Microsoft doesn't even make the PC's, they only make the OS. They really should try, I was even going to buy a Zune HD because it looked so nice and it's cheap and I already have an iPhone, but found out it doesn't work with Macs and I wasn't willing to transfer all my music onto the PC partion.

[/quote] How else could he inconspicuously blend in with all of the other Apple sheep drinking $7 pumpkin spice mochafrappalattes with their Macs? OT: I personally wish I had Zune HD, but like others have said before, the marketing is so sparse that by the time I even knew it existed I already had an 8GB iPod touch loaded with Apps. However, if the only criterion for PMPs were hardware and music, the Zune HD would definitely be the king.
