Well, the Zune isn't compatible with iTunes or even their own PlaysForSure program.
Shall we continue?

Hmmmmm is it?
Give me reasons why i should get the scratchy ipod 30gb over zune?
b/c you can get a thin protector so your ipod won't get scratched and b/c i say ipods are better and i'm canadian and peeps say that kiwis and us canucks are like long lost brothers so you should believe what i say
zune? actually I enjoy zuma (ipod game). it's much better than zune. I can't use zune because all of mind, feeling are already gone to ipod & mac (simplicity & sophistication)
there is nothing better than the iTunes and iPod combo - there's no better reason than that. Good luck to Microsoft...they're going to need it.
1. No click wheel, only a poor copy
2. Windows DRM
3. Ultimate Rev A product at this time
4. Purchase of Zune would serve to proliferate and support the eeeeevvviiiilll M$ homogeny

No, not really.
I GUARANTEE you this product will fail just like every other wannabe iPod competitor.

I will not give you a reason to get the ipod over the zune...whatever you want then get it.

I think the iPod might be losing it's coolness factor with the kids these days but I doubt MS can make this seem cooler than the iPod.
So Zune doesn't stand a chance.

Losing "coolness"? Maybe uniqueness? But not coolness. Besides, what else is there?
Now, the Brown Zune may take off as the epitome of anti-cool.

I think he meant the iPod is actually released!
Other reasons to buy the iPod over a Zune:
1) iPod has better battery life
2) You can buy an 80Gb iPod (if you need more than 30Gb of storage: I do)
3) There is a huge iPod ecosystem. I can plug my iPod into my car for example, I can't do that with a Zune
Ah, but Ellen was handing em out like candy, so there must be some in the wild. No?robbieduncan said:

Whatever, I'm a fanboy, but if this thing works well, and it is certainly priced well then I won't hate on it.
But, it doesn't work with my Mac, so that's really all I need to know.

Not trying to start an argument here. Just constructive criticism. I am no M$ fan.
How much crack does it take to get that high? I'm just guessing that about 5 minutes after that brown piece of junk hits the retailers we'll be seeing "one more thing" from Mr. Jobs...true (larger screen) video iPod anyone?

Seriously, you must be in the US. In the UK the backlash is building, you're out of touch...
edit: I must make it clear that I'm not saying ipods are on the way out, just that everyone has em now. That, and I am joking....slightly
