Stupid sell-out Zune joke.

I'm getting tired of these shows that sell-out to Apple. Apple is obviously buying time on these shows just to bash Microsoft products like Zune. The majority of people that have used iPod and Zune will prefer a Zune. So the stupid joke in Cavalcade about how you never hear someone suggest a Zune over an iPod is ridiculous. I just spent some time looking up stuff on the internet for "zune vs. ipod" and you'll see that most of the comments prefer Zune over iPod.

Zune is simply a better device that offers more of what iPod has available. Sure there are some things that iPod has over Zune, i.e. bigger marketplace for movies and TV shows and wider range of accessories. But if you want a better mp3 player that has better video output then go with the Zune.

Anyone saying the Zune doesn't offer podcast or audiobook support is out of their minds and haven't looked into it. Use audiobooks (with bookmarks) on my Zune all the time. Any podcast that iPod has to offer I can get on my Zune as well. The software is far more stable. The Zune is not only more durable but also lighter in comparison with similar storage Apple units.

I'm getting sick of Seth McFarlane's heavy handed preaching on his shows and now he's selling out to Apple.

Someone really loves their Zune... wow

In your defense though, I tried to help a buddy load songs onto his zune. The player crashed my computer... oh wait that doesnt help...

On another computer I couldnt download the player at all... hmm... that doesnt help either....

Give me a minute on this...

Didnt Zunes around the country on a specific date and time, all freeze in unison also???

I hope that check from Mr Jobs is huge...

Only if you updated your Zune software and synced but there was a quick fix...and alas all is well. I did have an iPod completely bricked from an iTunes update several years back yet I stuck with Apple and got another (couple) of iPods until around a month ago mine was stolen from my gymbag at the gym (I didn't lock my locker...I'm naive and didn't think there were thieven bastards working out next to me) and instead of getting an iPod I got a Zune and I've been more than happy with that purchase. Mainly because I hate the crap out of some iTunes. I did use a program called "MGTEK dopisp" that let me sync my iPod using Windows Media Player which worked really well. But still, besides sales (And that's only comparable to Apple. Notice it's iPod vs Zune and not Creative Zen blah blah...) Zunes have nothing to be dogged on about. Broaden your horizons and be pleasently surprised.

I am usually pro Microsoft and anti Apple, but in terms of a zune and an ipod I would definately choose an ipod. My friend has a zune and I just hate looking at it.

I have a zune and mine did freeze on that day...what a crappy day that was...

Its a good mp3 player IMO but im about to get an iTouch

Oh, noes!!!

Microsnot never produced ultra-low-quality products... Guess that Win 95, Win 2000, Win vista were produced by, eeeeeeeeeer.... ¿Linus Torvalds?

Please tell me that your daddy is the CEO of Microsnot and he threatened you that if you didn´t posted this he wouldn´t add another Lamborghini to your luxury car collection.

i have an ipod and zune.i the got ipod first , zune a couple of years later.

zune software is excellent , hardware poor.
ipod hardware is pretty good , software is weak.
thats my 2 cents guys.

ipod can be used as an external drive , zune cannot.
music can be taken off an ipod very easily (Copypod) it can't on a zune.

Hey, how do we know Microsoft isn't paying you to praise the Zune? Ha ha! Gotcha there!

I dunno about all that, but I do get tired of all the people getting macs just because they're cool/trendy, even though they're insanely overpriced.
