I am sorry MS Fanboy.

But to those who have an iPhone or iPod Touch you can now sort your pages from iTunes.
Home sharing will let you copy and sync easily.
AND there is more.

Yeah, I know, I read the live blog on tuaw.com as today's non-event happened. The biggest "news" to me was that Steve Jobs is back. Michelle wants a new iPod, so the price breaks on the existing lineup are nice, but I have a feeling she'll want the new 160GB Classic, which will be the same price as the 120GB was.

Supposedly the new Zune HD coming out is cheaper and a lot better than the ipod.  I haven't read about it too closely as I'm not in the market for buying one, but just thought I'd throw that out there.

"Zune" and "better" should never EVER go in the same sentence.  Unless its "The ipod is better then the zune".

If I were personally in the market for a music player right now, I think I'd get the Zune HD. It is the bee's knees.

The Zune HD does look really nice. I don't understand the animosity towards the Zune. Seems more like a protest against Microsoft rather than a judgment on the product itself.

When the first Zune came out, it was....ok, but certainly no iPod killer. I said at that time that it will be another typical Microsoft product, where it's adequate with the first couple of versions and that by the third or fourth generation (where we are now) it will be a serious competitor. The only thing it has to shake right now is its image of being inferior brought onto it by the previous generations. If the Zune HD were the first entry into the market, everyone would be looking at it differently. I don't know how well the mainstream iPod lemmings will receive it, but for those who can look at things objectively and haven't been brainwashed by the cult of Apple, it should be a serious consideration if you're looking to buy a portable music/video player right now.

The Zune HD does look like a nice product if I was only looking for a portable player and didn't have anything else, but my iPhone is now also my iPod and integrates well with everything else. I can control my AppleTV (Which I am one of 5 people who love.) and control my PC/iTunes/Mac/AppleTV and work well with my Air Port Expresses. It has just become part of a whole.

I have had 3 Zune Players. All of them 80GB, I only had one that refused to work. Must of been dropped a few times. Would I say they are prone to failure? No, anything with a hard drive is prone to failure if you drop it. I for one like my Zune.

And putting it in your hands increases failure rate by 64%. ;)

I by no means am a "Apple Lemming".  I just remember using the zune a few times and found the interface clunky and slow.  I do like the ipod mainly for the reasons why Shoctor does.  (and I am referring to the touch and iphone iterations).  It has become more than just a music and video player over the years.  And my comment was to be taken as a light hearted joke, but as I have been witness to many times, posts are 99.9% taken out of context.
