Zune: Bad First Impressions

Started by webomatica · 10 months ago

So the Engadget folks had a crappy experience installing the Zune software for the first time. They're not alone. Another report says that the Zune music store is totally confusing. ... Continue reading »

    I was going to get one of those Zunes, but i got an 80GB ipod instead because they are so much smaller and better. Let along i have had like 5 ipods over time.

    Harold - gee, 5 iPods that's a lot! But I think you are not alone... I had a shuffle, then a nano, and now an iPod video. The Zune is going to have to be awesome in order to get any of us apple users to switch... and right now it's just okay.

    Yep, the Zune is fat, hard to use, shitty software. Why would you want all that JUST to use WIFI? woopdie do. i watch scary movies on my 80gb and still crap myself so the screen is big enough.

    One bad thing about the ipod is the stupid back cover. Mine got scratched on the first day. STUPID apple could think of using the scratchless nano magnesium back and putting that there.

    Anywya i am only 17 and will have more ipods in the future!

    Zune will soon be dead! atleast i hope!

    I will never convert because apple is awesome and has great customer support.

    You guys are idiots....you obviously etheir havn't used ur ipod or havn't had it long enough to know it just breaks. but ur just sooo ADDICTED, u MUST get another one. Apple is conning u just like they con everything else. The whole MS points thing is to just make it more easier, and even if they're trying to fake u out, it's exactly the same price as itunes, and some even a little less, so what is the big deal? personally, u all are spoiled ipod freaks that simply can't take the thought of having something easier to use, or more simple, or even better looking, then the ipod. and even if u can believe it...all you'll do is just force ur parents into getting u another, more "newer" ipod and then protesting against zune because u all are just so baffled by the thought of a more professional music player. u guys dont even OWN A ZUNE! my dad does, he got it for his birthday today, and even though he has only had for less then twelve hours, he can see that it's not a shitty ipod. u guys are basically hypocrites that are trying to "look smart."

    Its like twice the size of my 80gb and its FKN UGLY!!!!!!
    Ipods look awesome and they feel good, not to mention the ease of use.

    Abbey I'm going to check out a Zune first chance I get. So far I haven't heard great things about it. I'm not totally anti microsoft... the XBOX is really great.

    Oh and also, about the iPod scratching, that is annoying. I had the scratching screen problem with the Nano, and the iPod video I have has definitely been suffering from scratching on the metal surface. It is basically impossible to keep the iPod scratch-free unless you cover it with laquer or never use it. I just gave up trying to keep it in mint condition after a certain point.

    The backs of my 40gb is very scratched, but the new 8gb nano is scratchless with the magnesium. The screen doesn't scratch and the back is VERY hard to scratch.
    If only they were all made of that stuff.

    Wow so I guess Apple improved the strength of the new 8 GB nano! I guess that is one more reason to eventually get a new iPod. But for now I am sticking with my Video iPod...

    Apple owns 79% of the market. Microsoft 2%
    Apples ipod charger outsold the zune in the month that it came out.
