[PV5150]

Microsoft intend to stamp out Apple's domination of the portable digital media platform, but does the 'Zune' have what it takes, even with the sweeteners?

Looks like it's gonna suck IMO. iPod ftw.

 

[PV5150]

Agreed! Banal, boring exterior and DRM = Huge turnoff

 

[Ham]

Banal

Thats not a real word!

Thats not a real word!

It is indeed

kempez definition:

Banal: Plain, boring, undefined, uninteresting

Once again to the iPod haters: I don't see why.

"Standing on the shoulders of Giants". Looks pretty damn similar to me

i wouldnt say i hate ipods, i just had to take mine back 3 times cus it broke. so after that it leaves you with a bad feeling about them. O and i hate the people that walk around listening to one and think there really good! there listening to a bloody mp3 player like 600000000 trillion other people. as you can see i hate posers.

 

[FarFarAway]

Yeah people who use them as posing pieces are annoying. which is why I bought decent black earphones

My iPod has been a highly effective, enjoyable and durable piece of equipment for me for the last two years

Tbh I don`t like the look of this or the iPod.

Atm this and the iPod seem like a very slightly scaled up version of my phone, and I can watch dvds on meh phone and play days of music on it using mediaplayer, so I kinda don`t see the attraction. - oh and do email, sms, msn, and make calls.

Unless I want to pay for stuff monthly ??

ROFLMAO, it's ok mate, I'm glad you like the word. It's actually the French who own it (it actually originates from the French word ban - meaning edict), I just use it

If there was a choice to be made, I`d go along with that.

My 10g Jukebox is outstanding.
