I don't know where all this iPhone discussion came from...

He wants to know about MP3 players, not phones. :S

I'm sure there's an adapter out there somewhere that would allow you to use other headphones.

There is, but who wants to pay more for a standard feature?

Also, moar zune talk plz -GEE

New Zune firmware tomorrow! Will allow you to wirelessly sync your Zune to your PC, has podcast support, Zune Community Connection, and will update your main menu to look like the Zune 2s.

That sounds cool. How would it work, though? Since it already has wireless internet capabilities, shouldn't it be accessible on something like My Network Places and syncable through there?

It will work through the Zune Software that runs on the owners computer. Example of it: As soon as a new song is finished downloading it will sync it to your Zune.

I hope it has Streaming functions

I wonder which way around it is...ie:
1) I'm at my pc, and my zune is in my room, can I sync from my pc to the zune?
2) Im on my zune, my pc is nearby (with wifi) and Ive added new songs to the pc's library...Can I just use my zune to get the songs/

Probably, and I hope, the Zune sends the command otherwise its VERY redundant >_>

EDIT: Don't say its not because the one reason I could think of for having the PC -> Zune wireless sync would be if you didn't have you Zune on you -- ie: Lost it somewhere in your room >_>

I love the new Firmware (2.2 (1440)) and Marketplace :3

Wifi-Sync and Podcast are so awesome too. The UI can be called improved but I'd like to see some things changed again.

Tomorrow I will have $450 in my pocket.

What should I buy? Considering the fact I have 30gb of music the Zune seems that more efficient. But the iTouch has wifi web browsing and WebApp support. I looked into the production of the WebApps and they are all coded in html and java. Languages in which I have extensive knowledge of.

I could potentially create an AIM client for the iTouch and AIM has the capability of texting phones. So now,

16gb iTouch with IM, texting, web browsing, homebrew games.
30gb Zune..

This isn't for iPhones (not iTouch, by the way...).
This thread is about talking about Zunes and the new stuff coming out, and I frankly don't want another thread that'll turn into a "my company beats your company" topic, like every other one does.

Actually, this thread started as a question. But I guess it could be a Zune discussion... changing 1st post.

HPDarkness · Post by **HPDarkness** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 1:55 pm

If you have 30gbs of music. Buy a Zune 80gb. It's only $250. I'm pretty sure the "i" products are more expensive, and don't hold as much. Unless you want a fat 160gb iPod.

Then you buy a used psp for $100, for games, web browsing, ect.

0m3g4Muff1n987 · Post by **0m3g4Muff1n987** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 2:05 pm

Or skip the zune and just get the psp for 100, and a 30 GB memory stick for like 300,000

Since this is a Zune Discussion:

New video blog - Zune 2.1 Firmware Update

I forgot to show the new software, which is customizable with themes. I should have explained the Zune community a bit better.

Here is an example of a Community page:

Wait, I'm confusing myself. Is the new Zune firmware something you can download on the old Zunes too, or is it merely something for the new models?

Also, I found this site interesting. Remember how cool iPod was with offering 2 lines of text? Well...

The new Zunes are just slimmer, with glass screens. It still has the same Hardware. So the update runs on both the Zune 30, and Zune 80.

Oh My God. This has probably been the biggest piece of technological Eye Candy Ever. The New UI for the Zune player is flawless. It's sexiness destroys Mac's iTunes "Matte Metally Gradient" look. The Animations are fluid, looks soo smooth and clean. The Search Function has been uber sexified. the Layout is clean, and simple to use, only issue I got is the Pink/Orange/White Theme. It looks like an overdone Cream Lifesavers package.
