   Hey, you’ve got Nine Inch Nails on your Zune. Well done sir.

   great video comparison. I wish you went into the settings menu of the iPod, because there are a few things that the iPod has in that menu that the Zune does not have which are pretty clever: i.e. ability to add/remove menu items from main menu.

   If i were comparing I would have mentioned how i dislike apples split screen approach. the screen is too small as is.

   hey guys i was thinking about recording me unboxing my zune 80 when i get it in about a week and try to get it posted on youtube should i do it or not??? please reply

   As you’ve probably noticed Austin, there have been quite a few unboxing videos released. Do you think you could bring anything new to the table when shooting the video?

   If so, then by all means, go for it.

   In fact, you might as well to make your Zune 80 experience all the more enjoyable. Nobody says you have to post it on Youtube.

   =)

   Anyways, pretty nice comparison Chris. A shame your wife took away those premium buds. I’m not sure I’d be that generous…

   Nice comparison; do a zune v. dell DJ next time =P The zune pad looks so much easier to use than the click wheel. I agree rock4christ; the split screen is kind of annoying and there should be an option to turn it off.

   Looking at the Zune and iPod side to side, I personally think the Zune looks so much better.

    I should think that the look of the iPod has been around to the point where we have simply gotten used to it.

    The Zune is like a breath of fresh air. With a glass screen.

    Chris thanks for some more great videos.  I like that you get into detail.  Helps people like me that are just now thinking about getting a player.

    Cnet just published their prizefight of the iPod Classic vs. The Zune80. I’ve always been a Cnet fan, and I think they do a good job going through the pros and cons of both players.

    I won’t tell you who won, but I think most will like the outcome…;)

    Thanks for the link, Heatwave.

    Pretty nice find, pretty honest opinions. Like how they got a panel of 3 judges to base their decisions on.

    But compatibility isn’t too much of an issue for me, so in my mind, the Zune 80 wins quite a bit.

    I agree on the compatibility thing, Sinizter. I have a PC, and no music from another download site.

    I honestly can’t see the no Mac compatiabilty being a huge issue.  I’ve found most Mac people love all things Mac, so they wouldn’t be caught dead with a Zune.

    Yeah my sister has a mac book and a shuffle and she wouldn’t touch a pink zune.

    But she hates the fat nano too. Go figure.
