"Best High Capacity MP3 Player on the Market"
Pros: Sleek Design
Glass screen versus the plastic ones on the iPod (not including iPod Touch)
Gorgeous screen
Squircle makes navigating so much easier than the iPod
Audio quality is better than the iPod, most people don't notice this though
Wi-Fi!!Cons: Lack of an EQ (equalizer)
Summary: After owning a variety of MP3 players, iPod, Creative Zen, Flash based, and Hard-Drive based, I must say the Zune smashes all competition. Even though the Zune has the same amount of pixels as the iPod, the pictures are still pretty good. Fine details get blurred and jagged edges, but hey- MP3 players are all about music.
Lack of accessories on the market for the Zune.
Putting songs on a playlist is cumbersome.
Battery life is half of the iPod.
Video quality is superb, but again fine detail is lost. The bigger screen makes it more comfortable to look at for long periods of time (movies).
The Zune does not freeze every 2 hours like the iPod. In fact, mine hasn't froze since I bought it (when it first came out).
Overall I am very pleased with this product. I highly recommend this to everyone.
