I can't choose between Zune or Ipod

I'm just wondering.. For Zune, Can i use itunes? or do i have to use a different thing? Also if i have to use a different one, then is it like the same as itunes?

It really depends on what you prefer.
As far as I know, itunes is only compatible with the Ipod. I'm not too sure what is compatible with Zune.
I personally have an ipod, and it works great for me.

well. I had the iPod.
but for Christmas. I'm getting a Zune.
I think it's better cause the screen is bigger :]
and for Zune, they don't ue iTunes.
I think they use something called
the Social? Dunno. Well. I'll
tell you when I get my Zune.

I've never owned a Zune, but for my part, I like the iPod.

I'll admit it's not the most reliable in terms of battery and durability in all, but for what I do use out of it, I am very satisfied. By 30 gig ipod died before the 1 year mark and I got it replaced with a brand new iPod.

the zune has radio schweet (i listen to radio alot)

bigger screen but its the same resolution as the ipod.

i personally like the look alot more thant eh ipod. and the size also. its acutally thinner than my SE k800 phone.

im an apple hater... btu i did giv the ipod a chance .. i bought a nano
but wasnt satisfied with it.

i wasnt comfortbale with the scroll wheel and the menus wer too boring for me.

it truly depends on what u like
im also thinking of purchasing the zune. the only thing thts stopping me which the ipod does. is tht the zune wont be recognized as an external hardrive... which is a bummer

The Zune has it's own software like the iPod using iTunes. I'm pretty sure you can convert the video with the software. It seems better than the iPod.

The wi-fi isn't a useless feature. As of now, ya it is, but if it gets popular then it'll be fun to use. When I say popular, I don't mean like the iPod popularity.

The Zune Marketplace doesn't have any videos... yet.

I have the Zune and I like it, but if you listen to Korean music, then don't get it because it can't read anything other than English which means massive amount of squares =____= Even though the amount of pixels are the same as an iPod, the screen being bigger is really an advantage and it's so great when watching videos. It can ALMOST be as good as a PMP but it doesn't come with any converting software [like iPod but at least it has videora].

You reminded me. Does ipod support korean? I was thinking of getting an ipod too. My samsung mp3 supports korean, chinese and japanese, so i kinda forgot about mp3s that cant do so. ^^;

yes. i have tonnnnns of korean music on my ipod. itunes and ipod both support them and like any other language.

i love my ipod but ive never had a zune so i cant really compare them, i dont think ipods screen is that small. i can read hardsubbed things perfectly fine. yeah zunes screen is bigger but the ipod suits me fine (:

i think in the long run, zune will be better.(firmware updates etc.) , but if you have an ipod already, just stick w/ that.
