Christmas Gift Idea: Microsoft Zune vs. iPod

The wait is over: Apple finally has a rival to their iPod monopoly.  If your looking for somehow to listen to your music on the go and you have a PC, you should look into Microsoft's Zune.  They can do everything a iPod can do: Windows 7 phone is like and iPhone and a Zune HD is just like iPod touch.  The only thing is that Microsoft has not outsourced app-making priveleges so the app selection is a little meek.  But give it time.  I got a Zune HD this past February and it has been the best purchase I have made.  It makes sense, why not match up Microsoft with Microsoft.  Zune has so many advantages for PC users.




First of all, the software is cooler and definitely more compatible to your computer.  Secondly, Zune music files can be exported to any other program, they don't copyright that shit or something like iTunes does.  Also, the Zune Social program is ground breaking.  You can connect with similar music listeners and you can receive Zune badges (comparable to Xbox achievements) if you listen to an artist or album enough times.  Speaking of Xbox, you can sync your Xbox account to your Zune account so your Gamertag info goes hand-in-hand with your "music career."  Also, just plug your zune into the Xbox USB port and you can listen to your Zune via the Xbox.  So invest in a Zune and you won't be let down.  You might not be in the majority, but hey, someone's gotta take the first step. Merry Christmas
