So think about it is the battle between Apple and Microsoft good or bad, I know it is good creative minds find millions of ways to out compete their competitors, and what do we get a good product, and they get money to continue improving and competing between each other</div>\

It\'s pathetic when you realize that almost every other smart phone had this ability at launch.

Coincidentally, it lacked audible support also. It would\'ve been nice to listen to books also, but hey, you get used to not having everything you want. But, I would\'ve thought that since MS wanted a I-touch killer, they would\'ve included this in the formula. The screen and the wireless syncing are the 2 real reasons I\'m getting zune over touch. but you asked for a reason. I couldn\'t resist giving you one. :-)</div>\

Most of these are garbage, and this is coming from someone who looked for apps that they would buy if they got an iPod Touch. Needless to say, the ZuneHD is a far superior PMP.</div>\

I\'m not saying that ipod is a terrible PMP, but I am tired of people saying that there is no comparison between the ipod touch and thezune HD just because of the apps. Sometimes ipod fans can be just as annoying as Twilight fans (and thats saying allot). If you look at it from a music and video standpoint, zune HD probably is better. Between the zune pass, HD radio, an OLED screen, and 720p tv output, zune really doesn\'t leave ipod with much to brag about. The touch is more like a hand-held computer than a PMP. As far as sound quality, I really don\'t see a difference. If you can please help me see (or hear) a difference. Because I sure as hell can\'t hear it.</div>\

Every single difference you just spoke of, is the very reason I\'m going to get a zune instead of a touch. I mean come on people, he\'s right. these products are being marketed as PMPs, not mini computers. so let\'s judge them accordingly. what I think is so funny is the fact that the touch is essentially an i-phone without the calling function, and yet, you want to spend almost as much for it! wow. doesn\'t make sense to me. must just be me I guess. if I\'m going to buy a product, i buy the best for the money. and in this instance, I\'m sorry (mainly cuz I hate the evil empire that is MS. lol), but the zune is the best product for the money in my opinion.</div>\

Zune is its own original name there is no word in the English dictionary using the word Zune but iPod was used from two words I and Pod. Get the picture?

I resisted ipod until I had to give in as nothing else could compare with the size and ecosystem the apple/nano offered.  Now finally there is an alternative. I was considerating a touch but the zune HD is a compelling option.  <br><br>All this talk of which is better is really just matter of preference or intended use.  If you are only interested in pmp, then clearly zune is a better package.  If you already spend 10 a month in itunes, then 5 more gets you unlimited access to explore new music without risk, plus you get to keep 10 songs each month (based on the review anyway)<br>If you want a pocket pc that surfs the web, plays games and apps in addition to playing music then the ipod is a better value. If the zune had bluetooth as the 3G touch now has, my decision would be made.  Unwired headphones has been such an important feature for me,  I use my nano with a dongle not to have to deal with tangled wires.  Either way the existence and success of the zune will only benefit ipod fans, forcing apple to continue it\'s innovations so everyone wins if zune HD succeeds.</div>\

The Touch has been around alot longer than the HD soo think of it this way, it was way ahead of its time, and not one single portable player out there could touch it, it has since been almost 4 years now.  Mac has alot of ideas they can throw into a new touch.  On the other hand the HD has been under design for over 2 years now, with one thing in mind, crush the ipod touch.  Yes its has OLED , HD output, and more batt life.  But think of it this way.  Do u think APPLE has just been selling them making rediculous amounts of money without one second thinking about all the new technology they can throw into it?  Back to microsoft, With the new atom processor out, who knows WHAT MS will do next,  The HD is the first step towards new platforms and new standards for all PMPS out there</div>\

Most of the people have a windows computer while virtually about 1% have macs. Microsoft can design better than any company. Apple had to make their products compatible with windows so a lot of people can buy it. True that Apple has 75,000+ apps, but most of them are useless with about 1000 of them the same thing. All of the Zune\'s apps are actually something that you can use. And there\'s no 5,000 versions of the same app. Plus the zune has a better screen, better sound quality (with some better headphones than the ones microsoft or apple gives you), a radio, FREE games, and much more. This is microsoft\'s first generation of a touchscreen PMP and already! it competes with apple\'s THIRD generation of a PMP. If you would compare microsoft\'s first gen zune hd with apple\'s first gen touch, it would be very clear to see which company can make the better PMP.</div>\

As for the apps, if 1,000 of the apps are the same, then 74,000 aren\'t. I think that\'s a pretty good number. in addition, you say the zune apps are actually something you can use, THOSE APPS ALREADY COME WITH THE iPOD. moving on, i\'m not going to enforce my views on anyone, because which PMP you buy depends on the person.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-27501474" class="dsq-comment-message">The thing with iPod, is that everyone makes a big deal out of it. We all have to admit it\'s good, but it\'s not THAT good. People always jailbreak their iPods so they can get free apps and backgrounds, then they break their iPod, take it back to the store, but because they\'ve fucked it up, it\'s literally worth nothing, so no iPod for them. Sure, it  has 90,000 apps, 10,000 times more than the Zune, but who the hell cares? There are only 1000 of those apps that are actually worth it! Zune is a breath of fresh air. The only reason Microsoft hasn\'t advertised, and started shipping over the atlantic, and the reason in england, if you ask someone if they have a Zune they\'ll go "A what? A Zoom?" is because they\'re not stupid. Plus, they\'re a little scared and cautious. Give it a couple of years, Zune is in 1G, Ipod is in 3GS, but the Zune has already beat it, minus the app lack. In a few years, when a thirteen year old english kid can afford a Zune HD, it\'ll be better. Besides, Microsoft has the advantage. They have the Xbox 360. And Windows. Put them together in the shape of the Zune, and the iPod won\'t know what hit it.</div>\

He even agrees its faster, better resolution, lighter, better features, and the songs are cheaper. In my opinion it does better the the Ipodtouch on theyre first try vs. the Ipods 4th. Most of the Apps on the Ipod are a waste of time and energy. Instead of paying money for a white screen to use as a flashlight, i think ill buy a real one.</div>\

The ipod touch has aided me in that aspect, there is a free app on app store that allows you to edit word documents, and there is also an app that is a dictionary and thesaurus, I think the keyboard is big and easy to type on. There is also stanza, that app lets you download free e-books(some of them are free, not all). And the games are also good. I only downloaded the free stuff though.</div>\

You have to restart your library all over with both of them. If your using a standard mp3 player that cost $20 you can get rhapsody for  $15 a month and have unlimited music available at your disposal and share with other mp3. With ipod crap you have to buy all the music. Zune, you can buy music but you can only share (with the very small amount of other owners) songs for 3 times then the other guy has to buy it. There both a rip off if you’re looking at the actual usage of an mp3 player. For $300+ I should have any headaches. I want music when I want it. Download when I want it and keep what I want without paying an arm and a leg. So I guess unless I want a bunch of other bells and whistles I can try and figure out between the 2, but if I just want music, I can spend $20 and have more options available than a $300 toy box. These two monster companies and this is the best either can do???... What a shame.</div>\

I had an iPod Touch for a while, but became sick of iTunes and their policies. (I actually pay for music and didn\'t find iTunes fair for purchases.)  Once you go Apple, they make it a total b*tch to go back. I\'m lucky I got out of using iTunes this early or I would have wasted more the the $80 I did on music that\'s no-good on any other platform or player. The Zune HD is a VERY solid device to have. The screen is perfect for movies. (yes I watch them on little devices) AudioSurf is the perfect game for a media player and the visuals are impeccable. The music store is great, but is lacking somewhat in artist quantity. Music quality is awesome, but no FLAC or OGG support leaves me a bit disappointed. The internet surfing and application store are a total meh-fest for now, but all I really wanted was music and video at high quality. The battery life makes it a must-have for long rides. I absolutely love the interface after a little while to get used to it. To be honest I can\'t see myself going back to the apple regime. I don\'t really want to.</div>\

Zune HD has good quality screen, but the app store is amazing as well. This review was a little biased towards Zunes but I think its a tie, App store equals all the qualities of an Zune HD.

How stupid do you have to be to base the quality of a PMP solely on its speaker? I have an old boombox that can pump out some pretty good sound from its speakers, so that must make it better than the Touch. I don\'t normally get judgemental, but it\'s people like you that make me believe that Apple really does make products for people that don\'t have a brain.</div>\

AVI is a much better format for quality because it is so much larger. So of course quality is better.  Convert the video to the HD format (I believe it is AVCHD... not sure) and then lets see the quality comparison.  Also I don\'t want to hear someone else\'s music.</div>\

I\'m not sure if microsoft had something to do with this Review or not but I ended up selling my Zune HD away.  The apple Ipod is much beter in my opinion.  Notice the word usage of "claims" throughout the text.  "Claims" doesn\'t necessarily mean "does" or "is".  Ya, a Zune can play up to 8.5 hours of video, on an absolute low quality settings.  My Ipod lasts longer than the Zune ever wished it did.  Ipod is also much more versitile with other programs than the Zune.  I can go on and on, but until you own both of them, you can\'t sit here and criticize either way.  I\'ll just laugh at your false so-called "claims".</div>\

The apps (applications -_-) are the prime reason people love this device, and by Microsoft not putting emphasis on this is not a good idea at all.

Zune only offers there software for Windows PC while iTunes is available on Macs and PC. That is a key point that you failed to make and should have easily gave Apple the upper hand. I was also disappointed that you didn\'t compare them as far as how easy each one is to use. I think you need to do some more hand-on-hand research on stay away from what you read on the internet. 2/5 stars.</div>\

The amount you have to pay to the workers to recode a whole media player and import it to the mac will probably be higher than the profit microsoft will get from putting the Zune software on a mac!<br><br>Apple, on the other hand, put iTunes on windows because Windows has a 96% market share on computers, so obviously, that and the fact that the iPod is pretty successful, they will reap benifits from putting it on Windows.<br><br>Microsoft probably knows too that people who have Macs are probably hardcore Apple people who hate anything with the word \'Microsoft\' in it, even if they haven\'t used it.<br><br>Give the Zune time and it\'ll mature. It\'s only been out for 3 months for heaven\'s sake! Obviously there won\'t be many apps and there will be some teething problems.</div>\

Why does the Zune have to support the Mac? Ever stop to think that maybe Apple doesn\'t want to support the Zune and that\'s why it doesn\'t work on the Mac? Most people still do not use a Mac, so I don\'t see what the big deal is.<br><br>Personally, I am glad to see an in-depth comparison of the two.</div>\
