It looks better and has a much longer battery life as well as a bigger screen. i dont use the radio much but i do every once in a while. i dont see how adding features can be bad even if they aren't used that often as long as they dont make the device spontaneously combust. Also dont blast wireless people i do use that so i can get music from my friend now and remember to download it later. my friends and i al agree that both the audio and visual are higher quality on the larger widescreen Zune.

First of all, yes the Zune does have the wireless feature, but last time I check so does the new Ipod Touch. Another thing...Microsoft Zune is very capible of creating there own store for podcasts, and a music store, which they have very well done. Are you dissing Microsoft, or Mac? I dont get it. Hey guy blow, Microsoft is one of the biggest companies in the world. Everyone is now dumber for reading what you just said. I award you no points, and May god have mercy on your soul!

Will the Zune take over the iPod right now? Would Windows Mobile based phones squash the iPhone now? No way, the opportunity will come when Apple slips up and their user base becomes fed up with all the crippling and disabling of basic features and add-ons. already the 2nd generation zune is better then the 5th generation ipod which are both under the same catagory. wait till 3rd generation which will be way better then the touch. what the hell are you people complaining about the wireless technology in it. the touch has that feature now and you people are probably sitting there going oh neato what a neat feature. microsoft pulled apple out of banckrupcy giving them a shit load of money and gates owning part of apple is not good. if it wernt for microsoft apple would have been history years ago when they made those dumb machines. apple the creator of the computer but microsoft perfected it and kicked apples ass.

Drug lords contribute to their community, we don't applaud them. M$ contributes crappy software, or buys really good software to market as an M$ product as far as PCs go. The only thing I applaud them on is that when they actually do write a game, Age of Empires, vs buying a game, Halo, they do a really great job. But, I digress. M$ is evil, period. But I must kinda disagree about Apple becoming larger than M$; Apple would be far more evil with a nicer shell around them. Actually, M$ is evil.

You seem to have the Tunnel Visioned, short sighted Apple glasses on. In typical Apple fan fashion you have no idea what you are talking about. Microsoft has more products than you can imagine. And make more products than any other software company. You only see the Windows product. You should see their line of server related technologies and research into emerging technologies. You Type Microsoft with dollar signs. But Microsoft has given more to charity and other worthwhile groups than any other computer company. Microsoft also sponsors lots of sport and other events. Microsoft frequently gives their expensive research products away to the IT community for the sake of standards. They always allow other companies to contribute and licence their products. Microsoft products work on a variety of different hardware confugurations. Unlike Apple products that just run on Apple hardware. Apple on the other hand has a 50% average profit on all products. That is a 100% mark-up. The people who sell Apple products are given an average 1%-6% margin (That's why storewide sales exclude iPods.. they cant afford it). You would think Apple would give their loyal followers a break and cut the price of their feature lacking products. But Apple share holders just think they are all suckers. When was the last time Apple sponsored something???? All Apple products are Trojan horses designed to lure more suckers. Microsoft has continued to make Office for Mac.. but you will never see Final Cut pro for Windows. The only time Apple makes a product for Windows is when they can see a big $$ in it. Do you think Microsoft would feel 1 percent of pain if they discontinued Office for Mac?? of course not. It is a charity case. Microsoft are an ethical company unlike Apple. Microsoft had a chance to squish Apple in the past but to keep the competition watchdogs of their back they actually assisted them. I'm sorry but the truth hurts some. I am not a Microsoft fan but the Apple suckers really annoy me when they get all opinionated about topics they know nothing about. Windows has more features than OS X. Yes OS X looks good but that is all Apple really has in their products. Microsoft puts features into their OS that matter to the customers. The day Apple gets bigger than Microsoft will be a very sad day indeed. We would then be really paying a lot for our computers. And Apple will tell us what we need.. not the other way round. Well thats my say... Walter… You seem to have the Tunnel Visioned, short sighted Apple glasses on. In typical Apple fan fashion you have no idea what you are talking about.
