It doesn't work with iPods, but the Zune itself, is better than the iPod, IMO, its built better and its lasted longer than my iPod Video.

agreed! I went through 2 ipods and their crappy music store before finally learning my lesson and going with Zune!

disagree, iPod Touch for the win! I could never go back after using a touch, and love my touch. Best swag I ever got!

how much did you spend on the ipod touch for how much memory?

I fail to see how a touch screen somehow makes the device worth so much! With the zune, it never leaves my car. In the morning before I leave I connect wirelessy to our home network from the driveway and download any new songs i added the night before and away I go! Not only that but after almost three years, the battery still lasts about 5 days with normal driving use.

I guess im just not into the whole touch screen fad. I hate them all the stupid new phones coming out and dont see a purpose for it on the ipod. Just my opinion though

It was S.W.A.G. (Stuff We All Get - it was free). It is an 8gig model and it is more than just an iPod. I can VNC control my desktop with it, I can sync and stream music off my library at home over the the internet, so I have access to over 100gigs of music. I have games and other apps on it, and the touch screen interface is slick and very nice.

I wish it was a 32 gig though.

Oh cool, well if it was free then that makes anything sweet!

I guess i dont mind not having the remote desktop and such on the Zune because I can do that on my Blackberry. I strictly use the Zune for music, as thats all I wanted in a music player... Music!

I also have a blackberry for work and it can't hold a stick to the interface of my Touch. I want an iPhone really bad now, but hate AT&Ts plans and rates, and their coverage sucks IMO, but I can't justify dropping $600 for a phone so I can unlock it and toss it on T-Mobile.

I mean web browsing on a touch versus my Blackberry 8330 is night and day difference. My blackberry sucks a big one, and I am using the Opera mini browser on it.

If you jail break your iPod touch it opens up a whole world of apps for you as well. It is almost like a pocket computer that plays music.

Most likely that software does something that is illegal. You may not be modifying the DRM file but I would consider it under the category of "circumventing".

Not saying any names, but I love how people frown on those who mention piracy, when you know damn well you do it yourself. I wouldn't go so far as to call you a hypocrite, but.... yeah, you're a hypocrite.
