IPOD OR ZUNE HD?

amazing how the tablets have dropped in price in just a year

The Cheapskate in me wants the Zune. The Rationalist in me wants the iPod. The Techie is wavering back and forth between the Zune and the Touch. The Glutton in me wants both!

I'm suffering for Quadpolar Mania!

The open-source zealot in me resents both. He wants you to look into Android-based gadgets, which he regards as the least evil. Meanwhile, the hypocrite in me owns an iPhone and is quite happy with it.

The Banker in me scoffs at the $30 a month data fees and $400 plus one time unlocked device purchasing fee that MUST accompany any Android device.

I'll chalk your vote as an implied vote for the iPod Touch.

If money was no object, I would have definitely gone the smart phone route. Been researching this for the past couple of months.

Went ahead and bought the 8GB iPod Touch [4th Generation] this afternoon from Amazon.

Playing with my new toy. Learning this new wild and crazy screen keyboard.
:-D

Zune is Microsoft's much-hyped personal media player (PMP). It’s sound quality is superb, the display is superb. The reason I returned mine was that the software on the unit would not display long track titles. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it will do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, then it becomes your choice what to select iPod or Zune HD.
Thanks
