Should I keep my Ipod or get a Zune?

Question

I have an 80GB Ipod classic, but my brother has been asking if he could buy it from me. I have a couple of friends that have Zunes, and they really like them. Should I sell my brother my Ipod and get a Zune?

Answer 1

Definitely get a Zune.

I prefer Zunes over iPod because:

1. Better support - All Zune devices get the same update. Whether it was v1, or 2.0, they all get the same support. Apple doesn't give the same update to all their music players however.

2. Bigger screen - Compare the small squinty iPod screen to a large Zune screen. Much better for videos.

3. durability - My Zune has lasted with me since last December of 06'. Most iPod users by 2-3 every year.

4. scratch-less - I have never seen any significant scratches on my Zune. However, there are numerous on my iPods.

5. Better UI - where as iPod's is rather stiff, Zune's have a virtual 2D UI, that's rather impressive. It's easy and quik to navigate on.

6. FM Radio - like local news? talk radio? concert ticket contests? new music? Zune has radio. iPod doesn't.

7. Personalize it - You can change the background image, get a case, or even do laser engraving with neat background art at Zune Originals: https://zuneoriginals.net/

8. Subscription service "option" - If you're not a big fan of buying music individually, then subscription is for you. For one flat monthly fee, you can have as much access as to any music you want on Zune Marketplace. It's like "renting" music for a month. About $15. Or you could buy songs individually.

9. better integration with the Xbox 360 - the new Zune update will promise better integration with the Xbox 360 than the iPod.

10. View in landscape mode - you can see videos and pictures on landscape mode, so it's like a widescreen.

11. Better included headphones - where the iPod's headphones have horrible quality, the ones with Zune aren't so bad. They even have a magnetic clip.

12. WiFi - you can share music, videos, podcasts, and many things with it.

13. WiFi sync - you can sync to your computer without connecting it!

14. Same price as iPods - Same price as regular iPods of the same specs, but includes more bang for your buck.

15. Zune Social - share music with your friends with your Zunes and online. Discover new music and share your music knowledge everywhere : http://social.zune.net/

16. Sync with Windows Media Center - sync recorded TV shows onto your Zune device

17. Zune software is MUCH more simpler than iTunes - give it a try for free to see : http://www.zune.net/en-us/products/zunes...

Answer 2

well if your ipod is working fine whats the point. ipods and zunes are almost the same. your classic is much sleeker and has better battery life then a zune anyway. im not saying its better (or worse) im just saying that its not really worth it unless your making some profit from this deal. which you most likely arent.

Answer 3

No just keep your ipod

Answer 4

Hey, I think you if you want sell the iPod to him, but get another iPod since it works best and you already have experience with iPods and all your music is already in itunes.

Zunes are just a copy of Apple iPods.
