For the Zune owners: How well does it organize podcasts. This is pretty much the only thing that keeps me using the ipod. As muc has I hate, HATE Itunes, it's pretty damn easy to subscribe to my podcasts..And good alternatives? It would be nice if it were linux compatible also. I've been wanting to convert my bedroom PC to linux but Itunes no worky in linux.

I find subscribing to podcasts very easy on the Zune. I have a ton of them myself.

It will be defeated by the PSP, and destroyed by the iPhone and DS. MS can't win this one.

You know his prediction seems normal but CC on Zune HD is why I would buy one. I don't care if MS is successful with this but this will suit me better than an iPod touch.

I've been talking about a Microsoft Handheld that would be able to play Xbox Live Arcade games anywhere for a while now, maybe it's finally coming true :D

You know, I haven't cared about handheld gaming for years, and it'll never be a staple for me, but... Something that I could use to play media, store all of my document files on, and play XBLA games on would be a unit I could really sink my teeth into.Shafftehr
I agree. I'm definitely intrigued.

Thanks I might have to check this out. I've been looking to replace my Ipod for quite a while.

Zune couldve been popular if they properly marketed itFirstDiscovery

More like it would've been more succesful if it was visually appealing. The design is so ugly and its much thicker than an iPod.

Buh... Really? Why is it too late? The first XBOX did pretty meh, but they're "fixing" it quite effectively I'd say.

Oh, and... Isn't this the first gen of Zune?



I just odn't see how this is ugly and the Ipod isn't. This design is virtually identical to the Ipod's. I could easily see you arguing that it's a blatent ripoff, but since it is a virtual carbon-copy ripoff, how can one be really ugly and the other one not?

I think that's still 2nd gen. I have the original 30 GB Zune myself, and the one you showed has more in common with the 120 GB of the 2nd gen. I still agree though, I don't find the Zune's appearence to be a problem at all.

Ah, ok. Even that though... Other than the color on that one, its design is still virtually the same as an Ipod. I don't think either is really all that nice to look at (they're both little plastic boxes, more or less, with a single big round button a screen on them - orientation is almost identical, and dimensions are very similar) - but, since one is a carbon copy of the other, I just don't see one as being ugly and the other not.

it's going to get destroyed by PSP and DSi what a stupid decisionEnglandfc1966


I think it is a good decsion as it is probabley not going to be pitted against them but rather the ipod touch. As it is still a zune.
