So I bought one of these off Woot. I'm sure it'll match or exceed what I had before.

Could someone explain to me why is it that every non-Apple product I own feels inferior now? I got the Zen Micro Photo 8GB instead of a Nano last year and I got my hands on three since and own a 2GB one (it came free with my car). Why? Because I thought iPods were shit...
Yeah... Now that I own one... The Zen's basically turned into a supplementary storage device because I hate using it for music now (and ran into several issues with it, although I've gotta admit the bundled headphones kicked ass until I chewed on them while sleeping).]]>Aug 22nd 2007 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 3:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 4:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/
Wish I had $150, I'd buy one.]]>Aug 22nd 2007 4:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/at this price i would take one, even as an apple and ipod user.
who cares about image and looks? its cheap, it has storage and it works (and it isnt available in germany).

oh wait, its the wihite one. didnt microsoft say something about the brown one being for dirtbikers? so even if it would be available here, i couldt by one, it would interfere with my bike ;)]]>Aug 22nd 2007 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/
BTW to contribute to the discussion: Apple and Microsoft both s***. Why get a seperate device just for the playback of MP3 when almost every mobile phone can do the trick? As soon as HTC gets devices out with a bit more storage space (idiots for not having done so before), the MP3 market will crumble! I predict this will be in around 18 months. ]]>Aug 22nd 2007 5:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/It's easy to just say "this will happen, and they will die" when you're not taking other factors in. ]]>Aug 22nd 2007 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/]]>Aug 22nd 2007 7:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/
My point was that MP3-only gadgets will disappear. I didn't mean to be so serious about it, my primary comment was about Zune's picture in the article. ]]>Aug 22nd 2007 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 5:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/and talking of audio, I have like 200 gb of lossless WAV and Play for sure protected tracks in my music collection, ipod doesn't help very much there, scrolling though a massive music collection can be a problem when you cannot control the sensitiveness of the wheel, without having to break warrenty with ipod linux that is to say. As a user of shure E500, i now that higher bit rate maes difference, and i'm afraid to say, that using the same earphone, but compare with my new Zen W, ipod 's high frequency sounds slightly hollow.FM? nope you need splash out another $50 for a pair of S**T sounding apple FM headphone set...Every slugs Zune for having useless wifi, its still better than not having it in ipod.

I'm not saying Zune is great, but come on, just because its Microsoft, does not mean you can say its S**T without directly comparing it with unbiasesed mind. Beside it only the first generation, Hope that MS can launch V2 knowing what went wrong, and not to make the mistakes again. I'm sure that ipod's interface is simple, but slow itune syncing and poor photo support, video codec support isn't great either. If uou want audio quality, go for creative, if you want video on move get archos 605, if you want both, still get 605, $400 listing prive for 160 gb is quite cheap considering that a 30 gb video in u costs almost £200 on the high street, £ to $ wors great atm]]>Aug 22nd 2007 7:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/Aug 22nd 2007 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/150-zunes-buy-one-please-buy-one/
