Replying to Trying to save people's christmas lists (ipods)

well, i'm not one to say that you should never buy and ipod. because they kick ass, they really do, BUT, if yours was like mine, and a ton of my friends, they can also be a huge pain in the ass. since they are mac, they dont connect to PC's very well, anyone who has problem with thier ipod being recognized would know how anoyying it is. then in my case my 60 gig color ipod broke 5 times in the 2 years i had it, when it broke i had to send it to the factory every time. then it ran out of warrenty so they wanted to charge me for a new one, FUCK THAT.

i had enough of apples ipod problems, SO!, as seen in the freeskier ad (it just occured to me this seems like advertizing, ((sorry its not!!!))) the ZUNE is what i think is the next big wave. its got a 3 inch screen, a radio, and the ability to send songs to your friends WIRELESSLY. now the best part, it connects to your windows pc perfectly, EVERYTIME!! and all the video's on your computer that you had to convert and do whatever to for your ipod video, HAH, the zune and gigabeat (another model, non wireless tho) acept most forms that are on your computer, and windows media player will convert them for you if they arent the right type! no messing around with other programs.

bottom line, do some research before you put down that ipod on your chirstmas list, i personally think Windows has got something here.

(disclaimer: i dont want to hear that apple is awsome for you and i should shut up, because i believe you, sometimes ipods are awsome, but some people might want to look into the zune, its got better features and is just a little less known. thanks for reading all this)
