TheBobGoat said:So, you guys all have ipods -- I have resisted. About 1.5 yrs ago I bought a Dell DJ 30 gb (non-video) mp3 player. It was 75 dollars less than the same ipod at the time.
Any thoughts?
My first iPod has about 3 years now and I am very happy with it - I don't need to change it. Why do you need to change your marvelous Dell, which has more features for less ?
Resisting against buying a superior product does not pay off in the end. The apple market share is low ALSO because their products have a longer life and offer satisfaction over a much longer time span. As for the Zune, it is a stupid attempt at clawing away some market share from Apple - the only thing that Microsoft can do is to copy from others, and mostly they turn out with a bad copy. I wonder what is the Zune's battery charge performance. As for the interface, it's way too filled with gimmicks and complicated - I couldn't care less about menus which fade, I want FAST access to the tune or playlist I want to hear. As for the pricing, it won't be a real competition with the Apple iPod. For more comments on the Zune and related discussions, here are some links:
