???iPOD or ZUNE???

My birthday is coming up which one should I get?

well I only have a walkman.... *gets pelted with old cabbage*KrayzieJ

iPod. The Zune does not have all of features of the iPod. The Zune is basically an iPod with the enitre "Extras" section gone, plus more. You can't even use it as an external drive (as far as I know). The screen is nice (even though it has the same resolution as the iPod), I will admit, but hardly good enough to choose over the iPod, which comes with iTunes which has TV shows from tons of different networks, tons of music videos, and tons of songs. iTunes itself, or the store at least, is enough of a reason to choose an iPod over the Zune. The only real reason to get a Zune is to try and be "different" since almost everyone has an iPod. I only know two people with Zunes, but I knows tons of people with iPods. If you really want to read about it all, type in iPod vs Zune and read some of the articles. The iPod pretty much tramples the Zune in every aspect. The only thing the Zune has over the iPod is FM and it looks more durable. FM isn't necessary to most people carrying about over 500 songs and scratches are taken care of with the right case. The iPod has contacts, calendar, notes, stopwatch,  iPod Games, and iTunes.

"The games on the iPod are terrible. iTunes is terrible as well" That's purely perspective. I'm sure the millions of songs, movies, and tv shows sold on iTunes are terrible as well?

"All you need is Limewire for any TV show/movie/song." Yeah, well iTunes is for those who don't want to have to worry about fines and jail time when they download their media.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I think iTunes is slightly short of perfect.
