I am going have to say iTouch, for two reason. Firstly because I have one, and the apps rock, expecially Peggle. The second reason is because I am Canadian and there is no Zune support according to this Microsoft rep that I talked with. :( I was looking forward to the Zune HD, I will get it if I can download apps and everything even though I am in Canada.

As far as I know, Microsoft has two main hardware offerings. The 360, which is a piece of shit, and the Zune, which is a high-quality device from both a software and a hardware perspective. So... they're 1 for 1 so far, really.

Personally, I think that Apple is an evil empire that sells overpriced and shoddy products. I guess the same can be said for Microsoft too hehe but I hate Apple much worse for their ability to swindle so many people into buying their overpriced PC's, when you can build a better one yourself for half the price. BTW, Zune HD - no doubt in my mind. Zune is imo one of Microsoft's best products; I own an 80gb myself and have no problems, except for me dropping my Zune in water numerous times, with it succumbing to water damage =( also I think you get more bang for your buck with the Zune, check out it's features, but the only thing I really want is some kind of youtube integration like the itouch or a web browser. BTW, the Ipod Touch is a great product, don't get me wrong, I just think it is overpriced.

i am very excited for the zune hd and really do hope it works as well as the ipod touch, but as most other "ipod killers", they usually fall short, so i will wait and see

edit: but yes, if the zune turns out as good as it looks i will be getting one

If you're going to be using the iPod touch for music, don't expect much, because the audio quality isn't good. I've got a Cowon S9 for music, movies, and full Linux support and I love it. I plan on getting an iPhone 3GS once my two-year contract runs up for the apps and some games.

In terms of Apps I'd go with iPod, but the music deals in Zune are cheaper, and more rewarding because the format works everywhere, unlike itunes mp4, who needs conversion in order to stream through consoles, and play on WMP, also the fact that I had to pay again for the music I've bought through my iphone in order to have it on my new Vista PC, is lame something like itunes PLUS, instead  $.99 you pay about $.30 per song, but still, it's stupid to charge me twice, Amazon doesn't do that.

It's really a matter of how cool you are. It's cool to hate iPods at the moment because everyone has one, so go with the Zune, or you won't be cool.

Which one will see more? Ipod touch.

Which one do I believe will be the better piece of hardware? Zune HD

People just buy ipods because they're are in. I'm a teenager, when people see me listening to my Zune, they are like "OMG! WHATS THAT!" just because it's not an ipod but a much more supeior piece of MP3 player. Get the Zune.

And Duracell is a battery company that shouldn't make SD cards and USB drives, right? Wrong. It turns out they actually make pretty decent ones. So why can't the same be of microsoft and an mp3 Player? Also if you would stop and think for a second, half of an mp3 player is firmware. Or in otherwords, software. So isn't microsoft being a software company maybe a good thing? Maybe after being in buisness after all these years they actually know something about making a functional program? I would think so. *Cue zune software/firmware*

wait for the new pod touch that comes out this year since it might have video recording.

Buy the Zune, even if it's just out of principle. Apple needs to be taught a lesson that just because they have a diehard fanboy fanbase, they shouldn't charge double for their products, especially when most of them are inferior to the competition.

I'm curious about the Zune HD.  I hope that it as the potential to be as good as the iPod Touch.

@WitchHunter_Z:  What do you mean by charging double. From what I heard the Zune Hd will be more expencive than the ipod touch.

@mellenman: He means that when you consider the quality of the product, they are charging pretty much double what they should.

@mellenman: Price for the Zune HD hasn't been announced yet, but the price point for the iPod is about double their competitors, who often have superior products. So you basically pay once for the machine and once for an apple with a bite taken out to be printed on the side. Great value!
