Is that 10+ million in every market the iPod sells in, which is every market? The Zune only has one to sell in.

And does that data include every iPod that exists, including older generation models, dirt cheap Shuffles, and refurbished units, which seem to exist in massive amounts everywhere for extremely low prices?

I would imagine the Zune is no different, since a large number of sales were due to the 30G being sold for 100+ bucks.

I would love to have someone clear up this information for those iPod sales. Because if thats the case, then thats not all that impressive for the iPod.]]>May 10th 2008 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/
Should be as popular as Gordon Brown, and a little less cool!]]>May 11th 2008 3:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/May 11th 2008 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/A good player.
But i was maxed on space.

So i wanted an 80.

I looked at ipod and zune.

I chose the Zune because it has the radio.
I heard the ipod also had crappy audio sound.
From alot of people.

The Creative had awesome playback sound, plus a EQ.

I was slightly pissed there was no EQ on the 80 gig zune.
But i have gotten used to the standard setting.
It is clear and crisp sound for sure.
If it sounded like crap i would have gotten rid of it.

Maybe they can add a EQ thru a software update?

All in all though i would buy another zune, over an apple simply for the lack of a radio in the apple.]]>May 12th 2008 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/May 10th 2008 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/
The problem with the Zune isn't the device, it is the ecosystem (software, accessories, etc) or lack thereof.]]>May 10th 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/May 10th 2008 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/
A lot of people say the same thing about iTunes. Personally, the only trouble I ever had with iTunes was early ver. 7 on my PC, like so many other people did. What I do love about iTunes is just the way it handles everything so easily for me. It did take me a while to get used to the interface as I had been using MusicMatch and loved that, but now I can't imagine being without my iTunes. Still, the screenshots I've seen of Zune look pretty sharp.]]>May 10th 2008 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/May 10th 2008 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/May 10th 2008 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/May 12th 2008 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/May 10th 2008 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/May 10th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/Hello, that's a mock-up done by Engadget to show what the Joy Division Zune might look like.]]>May 10th 2008 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/May 10th 2008 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/

Haha. I kid. If it works for you great. I found the interface to be fairly frustrating though. I also don't care for the iPod interface on the iPhone though. The interface for the rest of the functions on the iPhone is great though.]]>May 10th 2008 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/

I also find that most, emphasis on MOST, people who buy an apple product, such as the iPhone or iPod do so without even looking at the competition, but rather just seeing the marketing, the apple logo and the 'i' and instantly presuming that that is the best option. However I have to give credit the apple here for their very clever use of marketing. So that explains why I believe most people buy iProducts based on fashion or sheep-mentality, as for why the Zune is more about functionality, just go look at any Zune 2 vs this gen iPod.]]>May 11th 2008 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/I'm proud to be one of the few Australians to own a Zune (I've got a Zune80), my friend being another one of a few - and my mum about to be another.

Not to mention there isn't much more growth left in the overall PMP market. iPods have reached saturation and Apple so is creating a new mobile wifi platform with the Touch and iPhone to compensate. ]]>May 10th 2008 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/10/zune-breaks-2-million-sold-stealing-market-from-creative-not-ap/

Well,maybe I like to have a near diabetic experience everytime I eat pie.

But if it's the american pie that is stuffed full of different kinds of apples,then I couldn't pass up a slice of that
