Get real. What Zune trying to do is already done with iPod Touch 2 years ago.
Copycats don't get adopted like the market leader for good reason. Why Hyundai
luxury cars don't get adopted like BMW or Benz? Same deal with Zune.

Oh, yes, I forgot, Apple invented and was the first one out with an MP3 player... that's why they own the market now. You're right, no sense in any product ever coming out if there is already a similar product on the market.. that just does not make sense... who would do that?]]>Sep 15th 2009 2:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/
LRN2ANALOGY

Some of the earliest Lexuses(Lexi ?) were angle for angle copies of Benzes, and Lexus routinely outsells MB.

Hyundai doesn't compete with BMW due to differences in build quality and specs.


Sorry to say, but the HD has better hardware than the iPod.]]>Sep 15th 2009 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/
I didn't say iPod is the first mp3 player. iPod became the market leader by innovation.
Zune just follows. Someone has to be a follower and there is nothing wrong with that.
Just responding your point about why Zune won't see adoption like iPod. That's all.

Compared to iPods (and I'm NOT trying to start a comparison war), I'm just saying I've had tons of iPods and they've all managed to commit suicide on me while I've had my Zune 30 since launch and nothing has ever gone wrong with it.

Maybe that's their evil pliot to force everyone to upgrade to the latest iPod, but I've seen people still running around with iPod mini.

I wonder why the quality bar of iPod is dropping that quickly in the past few years.]]>Sep 15th 2009 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 2:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/
Microsoft gets a bad rap on their hardware, but if you think about it, almost all their hardware not named "XBOX 360" is rock solid and well built.]]>Sep 15th 2009 2:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 2:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Well by that measure, I've had my 20GB iPod 3G for longer than the Zune brand has existed (it'll hit six years old this November.) The failure rates on iPods and Zunes are probably roughly equal, with more noticed on the iPod side due to the sheer volume moved over the past 8 years.]]>Sep 15th 2009 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/
Please. Don't give us that crap. I have an ipod 30Gb (5.5G) after what, 3 or 4 years, it's still going strong and I use it every single day. The only thing I've notice is that bettery life starting to get shorter.

The reason you hear more prople about Ipod crapping on them is simply because there are so many more ipods out there. What 20 millions ipod touch vs what, 100 000 zunes? There are bounds to have more ipod breaking than zunes with that number differences.

I'm not flaming here, just trying to give people perspective.]]>Sep 15th 2009 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 2:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/
If your advice were true in every case, then websites like Engadget wouldn't exist. Sure, it is often helpful to compare two devices in person -- to get a feel for the difference between user interfaces, for example. But retailers don't let you "test drive" an iPod Touch for days, weeks, months or more. So asking if someone, perhaps a veteran iPod Touch owner, thinks that the Zune HD will be better is a legitimate and informative question.

I would wager that most people who visit Engadget have some desire to "listen to someone else tell [them] which one is better for [them]." We don't listen blindly, and we of course factor in our own opinions, but educated reviews of technology are helpful in deciding how to spend our hard-earned pimpin' dollars, yes?]]>Sep 15th 2009 3:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/Sep 15th 2009 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/zune-hd-unboxing-and-hands-on/
