Wired Chooses Zune over iPod Classic


We all have to work for a buck, and MS most likely advertises more than Apple on Wired, but enough to have the Zune 80 beat the iPod Classic?

It just doesn't make sense. iPod beats Zune on price, battery life and unbeatable scrolling through track, video and photo lists. Yes, the Zune's screen is 0.7" larger, but the resolution is the same, so the picture isn't as sharp.

And you can't get a Zune in a 160GB model. You can with the iPod. Game over.

iTunes can't rip DVD? So what? There are a million freewares and sharewares out there that convert your DVDs to iPod-ready video.

Apart from which, that ship sailed long ago. The market has voted with its feet. It didn't buy brown and it ain't buying this one either. 120 million people can't be wrong.
