It is true that the Zune is becoming bigger every day. Soon people will be say
ing iWhat?
Not that soon though.
Even with all those features, it's still a Zune to me.
This is exactly how MS made it in the PDA/Smartphone market. After hanging in
the coat tails of Palm for a number of years, Microsoft started to dominate the
PDA/Smartphone market through sheer tenacity backed with billions of dollars i
n R&D.
Remember how Microsoft's Windows CE stacks up against PalmOS 2.x? It's like pu
tting a Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens side-by-side in a room! But look at Windo
ws Mobile today, it may not be *the* ideal mobile OS but it sure is more modern
/updated than the heavily patched PalmOS Garnet.
Is this how it will be with Zune vs. iPod? IMHO, Apple should learn the lesson
s of Palm and not rest on their laurels. There are a lot of room for improveme
nt in the PMP niche and Apple should take advantage of those in order to mainta
in their dominance in the market.
Zune being compared to the ipod Classic rather then the ipod touch ??? (because
of GB size ??)
Zune cant beat iPod Touch
bam!! to the Moon Zune !!!
I hope Apple has learned from the past. They cannot simply sit back and relax.
Microsoft is not known to just roll over and die. Look at Xbox 360 now. Gre
at analogy on the Smartphone @ Bernie
You guys should also factor in iTunes and the iTunes music store...
its all about the experience...
Zune might be big on HW, but it still lacks the "iPod experience"...
im with DDis2cool, should be the iPod touch.... wait till bigger NAND flash chi
ps are created and an 80 GB (or bigger) ipod touch should be just around the c
orner
