maybe because you aren't up on the new tech gadgets.....

I have a 80gb Zune....Ipod sucks so much monkey balls and everyone keeps buying into the fade/trend....

I love my Zune.....I'm finding more and more people with it....like I was on my bus heading to the main campus and I found another user...pretty sure she's a female so I sent her a couple of songs and she sent me a few. Whenever I'm at the gym I can find more zune users there also wirelessly.

Zune does have an ad campaign that just kicked off recently....I've been seeing the commercials around quite often so, Lizzie you don't watch that silly invention called a television either.

Installing my Zune software was a tota b*tch. It didn't come with any software, so i had to DL it off their website.

-DL 40Mb of software
-installing zune software...."must update your version of windows"
-DL windows updates...."page cannot be displayed properly"
-disable ALL firewalls, etc
-DL windows updates
-install windows updates
-reboot
-installing zune software...."must update zune version/drivers"
-wait 20 minutes for the "update" to the software
-finally got it installed....oh wait
-"videos/graphics will not display properly in this program, try updating your video drivers (i just ran a f'n full system update!)
-DL video drivers update
-install update
-reboot
SUCCESS!

total time: about 3 hrs


I love my 80GB Zune, but this was f*cking rediculous/

My experience with my I-pod

1. Opened up I-tunes which i'd spent 3 months uploading music to.
2. Connected new I-Pod.
3. ****ed off for an hour
4. Came back and found all 50 gig of my music installed on it.

I've only had one problem with my ipod which was when it died without turning back on (I got it for free from a friend though so I wasn't that upset since it was old) I mailed it in and got a new one back which has worked fine ever since. I don't understand the hate.

They both play music? I'm gonna go with the Zune just to be a rebel.

Everyone at my school who wants to look cool goes out and buys like the 2million gig ipod with intentions of only putting on like maybe 50 crappy songs. Its so annoying...
