To those defending the Zune
Please where can i apply for a job to be the "Zune defender". I'm sure you guys make cool cash defending Microsoft products on forums. Though i'm not into Zune, i'll be willing to post nice stuffs about it on all forums i come across.

Get back at me soon so i can start my new found job!

You want or already have a Zune.
Good for you. I hope you enjoy the service your going to get from Microsoft (and I'm not talking about the music service).

Enjoy your Zune. :)

Good Lord You People are Deranged
ITS A MUSIC PLAYER!

The iPod, the Zune, the Archos, all of them... THEY JUST PLAY
MUSIC! Yes, they play video as well BUT SO WHAT!?!?!!?!

None of them are worth getting as violently angrily deranged as
many of you have become. I mean seriously, what is wrong with
you that you have to start calling each other losers and idiots
over a what is really nothing but a walkman? How is this
technology, in *any* way so crucial and important that its worth
getting this worked up over?

Do people get as worked up over New York versus Chicago style
pizza? Do you have religious wars over relative merits of
different hammers? Do you resort to name calling when
discussing the merits of ballpoint versus rollerbal pens?

Seriously, take a look at yourself. What the heck is going on to
make you so *angry* over something so *trivial*?

X-Box all over again ..
For those who doubt Zune's success, just think back when XBox entered the market - critics were harsh, no one thought Microsoft could convince the gaming community that Microsoft could build a viable product. Microsoft proved them wrong -

Microsoft is a company which gets it (well eventually in V2 or V3), but end of the day they produce products for the masses- I expect Zune to be no different - Like or not in the next few years Apple will loose a good chunk of its market share -

Funny, yes XBox Gen1
XBox gen 1 was big and not very attractive. When 360 came out it was slimmer and offered more, and the games was not backward compatible with XBox gen one. Leaving the customers of gen One out out of luck.

Zune Bigger Screen : Lower Rez than iPod
Bigger screen on Zune? barely...

SAME resolution but stretched across bigger screen...NO MORE PIXELS OR HIGHER RESOULTION, JUST A LITTLE BIGGER.

Who cares!

ZunieTunes does not have any cool videos to download. (iPod / iTunes YES!)

ZunieTunes does not have any TV or Movies to download. (iPod / iTunes YES!)

YOU CANNOT MAKE YOUR OWN VIDEOS & PUT THEM ON THE ZUNIETURD. ( Mac OSX iLife with iMovie & GarageBand for creating videos & Podcasts that work on the iPod-Video YES! )

Brown ZunieTurd MP3 wannabe...Losers.

Wow. Not even close to right.
Can you download videos and play them on the Zune? Well, you can if you want to synch and then play any WMV file out there. It's no different than iPod's limited video playback as well. I expect content will start becoming available once it starts gaining in exposure.

I'm rather surprised that you would expect content providers to immediately put up material that is Zune-specific on the first day of release. That's just immature thinking.

Can you make your own videos and put them on the Zune? Sure, just create your video, save it in the correct format and synch. It's not rocket science. I'm sure even you can do it if you tried.

I think the only loser here is the one that has some serious jealousy like Llib Setag. (great name- too afraid to use your own?)

wow
i can't imagine why you are so invested in this ipod versus zune
thing. They just play music and maybe videos right? They don't
solve world hunger, or give you a hand job, or kill your parents
if you use the wrong one, do they?

So its just a music player. thats it. thats all. nothing more.
That *anyone* can get so deranged about something so trivial
(and really, if you think it isn't trivial please tell me what crucial
and life changing impact an iPod actually has) is really
unfathomable.

Its kind of funny though.
