Apple iPod vs. Microsoft Zune

I updated the Zune I have to the latest firmware and the new user interface was a nice change. The software application is now more simplified though I am not a big fan of the Pink color.

It took me a while to understand Zune 2 software but in the end it all worked fine. They could have made it simpler but knowing Microsoft it was too much to ask.

I still could not benefit from the improved file format support as it failed to recognize all the media files I threw at it…

Looks like I would have to continue using a third party application to convert the videos to a Zune compatible format. Creative Zen Vision does a much better job.

You still cannot use the Zune as a pen drive so that is a big disappointment too.

I also get a chance to see the new iPod nano and I found it to be a bit TOO small for my taste. This was incidentally the first time I personally got to use an iPod (other than the iPod Shuffle) and I did not like it much…

Using Zune 2 was much more fun compared to Apple iTunes…

I have owned both an iPod and a Zune and I have to say that the Zune is WAY better in more ways than one. Believeit or not, the FM tuner comes in handy at times you would least expect. Also, the sound quality, which I haven't really seen many people talk about, is significantly better. I never had one problem with my Zune and just about everyone I know who owns an iPod has had to take it into the store because they had a problem with it.
