How good is the Zune HD?

[danikerhino]

I haven't heard anything about it since it came out. Anyways, I don't have an Ipod Touch any more and was thinking whether or not I should buy the Ipodagain, or just get the Zune HD. The HDMI output (HD connection to an HD TV) is really impressive and the screen is sharp as hell, but I kinda like thereliability of Ipod and Itunes (never had problems with either). What's your opinion NT?

Well I played with my friends and its great. It needs more apps buts its far above the ipod touch if you want music and video because of HD radio and thescreen looks good when we watched UP on it.

Yeah I had one, it was great and all. But the Zune has overall better picture quality and it's different. The Ipod touch is very good toothough.

Oh yeah, I forgot the Zune had the HD radio.

My sister has one. I played with it for a little bit and it looked/felt good. I didn't give it a listen audio wise tho, and that's most important to me

I wish this joint was Mac compatible.

Well, easily at least.

 

[doctor knows best]

There are alot of better mp3 players than the ipod.. who can do so much more than the ipod..

but people still buy the ipod because of its design, simplicity and hype

There's basically no point in trying to compete with the iPod. No matter how much better the other companies' MP3 players are, the iPod will still win.Notice how they've stopped trying.

I read that it doesn't have a speaker.

That's the only reason I passed on it...so far.

I don't wanna wear headphones every time I watch a movie on the damn thing...

You forgot one thing, iTunes, that's they main thing that's pulling me towards getting an Ipod Touch again.

LimitedRetroOG: Apple won't run things forever, everyone use to say the Sony Walkman will always run PMP too remember.

 

[cidman911]

I just double checked.

It has no built in speaker.

Like the Ipod touch's speakers were great or something. You could barely hear it.

You might wanna clean out your ear....

but which one is better for web browsing?.....

 

[cidman911]

It's not great.

But it's still GOT a speaker.

The best speaker I've heard so far was the one on my BB Storm.

That thing is loud as hell !!

That's true. To answer your question NEIGHBORHO00D, reviewers said that the Ipod's browser is a little faster and Zune doesn't supportflash (just read it).

Sound Quality, Sound Quality, Sound Quality. Zune > iPod

 

[cidman911]

When has the iTouch started supporting flash?

Hmmm...I got the 2nd gen.

Last time I was on a site with flash...It didn't support it.

I was thinking of copping but im getting the N900 so I doubt it.

My mistake, I meant youtube.

Edit: Here's a video I found on youtube:

 

[cidman911]

I was like

"Oh word?! Flash....

"

Then you said Youtube...
