Sandisk and creative both sell more intersting players. The Zune is simply mediocre as is the backing software. Shove the social.; Like this Reply to this comment

Not only it has more features, the touch pad on the Zune is much more practical than the click wheel. The user interface is gorgeous and it is more intuitive than the linear iPod menus. Mac is slowly realizing this and they are adding things to it in every new release (FYI Simple doesn't mean Practical!). In their latest Nano (4th Gen) they stole the full screen album cover that the Zune had... if you play with a Zune for 5 minutes you'll see what I mean. Can't wait the the 3rd gen of Zune.; Like this Reply to this comment
