Now that Apple has come out with the I-touch (MAJORLY EXPENSIVE!!!) the Zune doesn't have a chance.....Zunes ---&gt;I-TOUCH...but Zune kills all the other I-pods...If they just fixed up their programing a bit i would totally buy one.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8169555420293710197/8121551799921711551/comments/default/6208750576801462318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8169555420293710197/8121551799921711551/comments/default/6208750576801462318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.frivolousmotion.com/2006/11/reasons-not-to-get-zune-this-christmas.html?showComment=1210111200000#c6208750576801462318' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.frivolousmotion.com/2006/11/reasons-not-to-get-zune-this-christmas.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169555420293710197.post-8121551799921711551' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8169555420293710197/posts/default/8121551799921711551' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1240737492'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169555420293710197.post-7690620712767374548</id><published>2008-01-13T20:52:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-13T20:52:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I agree with you...&lt;br&gt;1.

It's Mac's problem anyway, if they wanted to make it compatible, they could like Microsoft did with the iPod. Why you would even USE a Mac in the first place is beyond me&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;2nd: The program is one of the easiest programs to use in the history of the world, and never crashes. I have NEVER had that program crash on me. In fact, iTunes is ALOT worse for crashing than the Zune player, and not just from me, web polls clearly show a massive diffrence between the number of ppl having trouble with iTunes (ALOT) and ppl having trouble with Zune (minimal)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;3rd: A little thing called PATCHES. Microsoft are issuing updates for the Zune regularly. Podcast functionality is on the way. Also, the ability to download music at a WiFi hotspot using your Zune, direct from the Marketplace. I'm sure that within a few months, everything the iPod can do AND MORE will be intergrated into the Zune system&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In short, read around before going on this sort of rant. Within 10 minutes I found enough information to put 4 of your theories to shame, I just can't be bothered to devote any more of my time to the matter.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8169555420293710197/8121551799921711551/comments/default/852467488410129192'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8169555420293710197/8121551799921711551/comments/default/852467488410129192'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.frivolousmotion.com/2006/11/reasons-not-to-get-zune-this-christmas.html?showComment=1184619300000#c852467488410129192' title=''/><author><name>TJ</name><uri>strangemedia.co.uk</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.frivolousmotion.com/2006/11/reasons-not-to-get-zune-this-christmas.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169555420293710197.post-8121551799921711551' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8169555420293710197/posts/default/8121551799921711551' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-862069740'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169555420293710197.post-4424503747776819678</id><published>2007-02-03T14:43:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-02-03T14:43:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>This has not been a very informed article.

First I think it's absolutely hilarious that you start this post with "My Ibook died". Second most of what you suggested as issues with the Zune are innaccurate and in cases of not being innaccurate are merely style preferences over actual performance.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So unless your actually in the business of reviewing products and doing so in an unbiased manner your opinion doesn't really hold any weight with most thoughtful consumers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for the vine.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8169555420293710197/8121551799921711551/comments/default/6323027451967679649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8169555420293710197/8121551799921711551/comments/default/6323027451967679649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.frivolousmotion.com/2006/11/reasons-not-to-get-zune-this-christmas.html?showComment=1167079920000#c6323027451967679649' title=''/><author><name>Chris C</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.frivolousmotion.com/2006/11/reasons-not-to-get-zune-this-christmas.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169555420293710197.post-8121551799921711551' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8169555420293710197/posts/default/8121551799921711551' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1843808984'/></entry></feed>
