Um…..the tegra can support 720p video, the zune hd will support HD Radio (quite a few people listen to radio) and slowest tegra is faster than the processor of the itouch

its not a codeword dumbass

“Tegra is Nvidia’s version of Intel’s XScale 4 years later, that is all.”

Thats like saying Intel responded to the AMD Athlon with the Core 2 Duo….wtf is your point?

“You do realize that unreleased Tegras (which only has the support of ONE device/manufacturer so far) is based on an ARM processor used in the iPhone and iPod Touch from LAST year and the year BEFORE?”

Just about everything is based on the ARM architecture….I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here

Go ahead and make yourself feel better about your crappy Itouch!

you know the Zune HD and Tegra processer is so much better then anyting Apple can shit out. Trying to say that the Tegra is nothing special…yeah i didnt expect much out of a Apple Fanboy faggit.

Well technically the Samsung SCH-W760 has an OLED screen and more are coming out with them. But that is not the point. I think that something to actually compete with Apple is a good thing. I have owned item from boths sides and both have their areas of expertise. But competition is what a free market economy and capitalism is all about. We need competition to drive prices down and push innovation up like many have said.

Got an 80gb and its doin just fine thank you!

Yeah, it makes no sense at all man. If this product doesn’t threaten iPods hold on the market than whats the big deal? Even if i does “kill” the iPod Touch whats the problem? It doesn’t actually kill their iPod does it? maybe apple fans have become too literal.

What we have here is the fear that one’s own technology will become out of date. Everyone wants to have whats best. I guess thats whats with the hate.

you don’t see me looking up iPod blog things and smashing it tho so maybe not.

Yep, cause OLED screen, HD out, tegra chip, and HD radio are way obsolete.

And hold on one second…

yep, thats right. From what we are hearing folks, its even cheaper than the old iTouches.

God! if that wasn’t the definition of obsolete right there I don’t no what is.

Get your swinging arm ready … WinMo 6.5 looks similar, and from what I’ve been reading, WinMo 7 will merge the Zune line in, making for Microsoft’s iPhone Killer.

I’m not going to speculate. Only time with tell whether or not they actually manage to dethrone apple on the mp3 player and “ooh shiny phone” market remains to be seen.

It’s not even released and it’s already obsolete. LOL

Why do Apple fans have to be so malicious towards anything Microsoft? I think the iPhone and iPod were amazing pieces of gadgetry when they came out. I now hope someone else can make phones and media players that compete well against them. After all, that will drive prices down and innovation up! Stop being so hateful towards the Zune…I have one and love it!

I think Michael is just saying that all cars get you from A to B, some just comes with better luxury appointments as standard equipment. One thing I’ll say about my brother’s Lexus is that it is an extremely quiet blush ride.

You must not drive too many Lexuses. They might look nice – and even that I would argue in some cases – but the driving experience, in so far as possessing an intuitive, exciting experience, is just as good or better in many Hyundais as it is in a Lexus.

If Microsoft makes a phone that looks like this, and I’ll throw my iPhone against the wall …

dingbow, as per my comment above, it’s not even necessary to dismiss the potential. The Tegra line is not uniquely capable (potentially or not) of anything that a Cortex ARM+PowerVR solution is not.

Although you can shine it up, even plate it in gold, sh*t is still just that. I will grant you that I wish iTunes would work with _any_ player, as well as Zune Store with an iPod (that I might also buy). For now, though, comparing a Zune to an iPod is like comparing a Hyundai to a Lexus. Both radios may sound the same–perhaps–but the ride in the Lexus is just that much nicer.

“there is a lot more potential for killer apps than the ipod.” The magic word is “potential” here. Why go for potential, when you can get what you want now on something else (iPod). By the time those apps that you want comes about on the Zune, your 80 gig will be old school. There’s also a reason why the Zune is cheaper, it’s market is waaaaaaaaay smaller. It wouldn’t sell AT ALL if it was more expensive or for the same price as an iPod.
