iPods all the way for me! heart.gif I have the 30Gig Classic, but I'm looking to upgrade to the 120Gig in the near future. The only problem I have is sometimes I have a connection problem when I plug it into the computer, but just disconnect and reconnect and it's working fine. smile.gif

I love my zune dearly, but i am thinking of selling it to get one of the new ipod nanos. The zune is just to big and think for me.

If anyone is thinking of getting a zune please contact me.
It is in perfect condition and will include music.

My boyfriend has the first gen 30G Zune and I have the second gen red 4G Zune. I love it! The software now allows for games and a clock. You can subscribe to Zune and get all the music you want for $14.95/mo, free podcasts, joint account for XBox, etc. That, and the music is DRM free, which means I can get my music not just from Zune but from Amazon, WalMart, Rhapsody, etc. The one thing I hated about Apple was that with iTues apple wasn't so much protecting th artists as it was protecting it's own bottom line. There's no reason why I should buy an MP3 or, in the case of iTunes, and mp4 and not be able to put it on the device I want. That really irked me about the ipod and that's why I refuse to buy one... or the iPhone

I'm an iPod user all the way (in fact, I'm an apple user, period, if I could use an apple at work instead of a PC, I would). I have an 80GB Video iPod and I've only used up just over half the space on it... there have been times when I've been tempted to get the new classics (what do they have, 160GB?), but I don't need it and I'm resisting. I like what I have right now and I'll keep it as long as I can.

I've had some coworkers that got mp3 players other than iPod (including a Zune), I've looked theirs over, and I just don't care for them

So yeah, for me iPod/Apple all the way smile.gif

I got an iPod Touch for christmas and I LOVE it. Its rocks that I can have my music, movies, tv shows, email, RSS, games, contact list, etc... all in one place. Before my iPod Touch I had a really old Rio Carbon 5gig that I got in like 2001 it served me well, but I am just flabergasted by how great the Ipod Touch is. Now I just need a leaky app for it, I may just have to look into writing that myself, although a plan old RSS reader works for now, haveing a leaky themed app to get all my HP news from would be great.

I am 100% Zune. The firmware is ace compared to the ipod firmware. I will NEVER own an ipod. Not even a touch. I pods are very confusing for me, and zunes are simple to use. I love my 80GB Zune. I am attached to the hip.
Also Zune Marketplace is amazing verses Itunes. It's almost cheaper, if you look at the whole points system. Itunes is rediculous. Thats just my opinion.
I can't wait for Zune HD.

I'll take your word on the firmware, YellowBrickRoad, but I agree that the Zune seems more user-friendly. (I am not a real nerd, I just play one on TV. tongue.gif ) Zune has the official site up for the new Zune HD, click here to see it.
