Once you go Zune...

By Kyle  Jul 8, 2009

Pros: Beautiful screen, sound quality, sexy design

Cons: Matte back gets smudged easily

Before my dad talked me into a Zune, I wanted an iPod. Then I saw an online comparison chart. It was all true; the Zune does have more to offer than the iPod. I've had mine since Christmas. The only mishap so far is that I dropped it on the bus... and it got a little blotch from the shock. I sent it back and got a new one, same inscription on the back, new headphones, new USB cable. Excellent support. Now onto the device itself: - Absolutely beautiful. Pictures don't do it justice - Great interface. The Zune pad makes use effortless. - Sound quality is top notch - Zune software is great. I've used iTunes before, but Zune software has it beat. - You can use many different types of files, like WMA, WMV, M3U. The list goes on. - The radio is great, but I will say that my mom's car gets better reception, but tri county stations come in crystal clear for me. - Lots of space The only gripes I have with it are: - The back gets easily smudged - Accessories are scarce, and when you do find them, they're far more expensive than iPod accessories. Some are really good though, like the DLO Hipcase. Overall, excellent device. I wouldn't give this up for the latest iPod, especially with the Zune HD coming out in a few months. Read more Less
