I fail to see what's so remarkably awful about Zune's implementation of the same resolution screen. And don't throw "iPod Touch" at me, 16 GB is a paltry laugh right about now with HD densities what they are.

Pfft... haters. If it was shipped in off-white, and black, perhaps it'd matter. ::rolls eyes::]]>Oct 1st 2007 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/Oct 1st 2007 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/
The point being -- the Zune has a lot more screen real estate than the iPod. ]]>Oct 1st 2007 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/Oct 1st 2007 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/Oct 2nd 2007 3:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/Oct 2nd 2007 4:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/
Widescreen generally means anything wider in aspect ratio than 4:3, it doesn't necessarily mean 16:9. The big hard disc based Zune looks like if you turned it on it's side it would be widescreen, i.e. wider than a 4:3 aspect ratio. Maybe you're just looking at the picture on the little screen, but if you actually click on the pic to check out the zunescene boards you'll see a pic of the larger one by itself showing a much-wider-than-4:3-but-not-necessarily-1:9 screen. Besides, the ones in the pics are cardboard displays and you can upgrade those to any size screen you want.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/Oct 1st 2007 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/Oct 1st 2007 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/Oct 1st 2007 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zune

I'd love to see some credible sources on that claim.]]>Oct 1st 2007 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.electronista.com/articles/07/06/21/zune.11.percent.in.may/

Microsoft's share of the music player market is continuing to climb, according to preliminary details of a new study published by market researchers NPD. The group notes that the lone 30GB Zune held 11.3 percent of the US market for hard disk-based players in May, a modest but significant increase from the 9.9 percent seen in January. Reasons were not given but the increase in sales is widely believed to be the result of both special edition pink, red, and Halo 3 Zunes as well as store discounts over the course of the spring, which dropped prices to as low as $199 at some large retailers. ]]>Oct 1st 2007 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/Oct 1st 2007 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/
Maybe they included the chinese Zune knock-offs in the statistics. :P]]>Oct 1st 2007 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/
@Ruben: lol, that was pretty good. Indeed, the Market speaks.

Anyway, the new Zunes actually don't look half bad. I'll hold off buying the new Creative Zen (I was a heartbeat away from clicking the 'buy' button last night) until tomorrow and see if they can swing me to the dark side.]]>Oct 2nd 2007 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/Oct 1st 2007 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/Oct 1st 2007 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/Oct 1st 2007 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/are-these-the-new-zunes/
