It looks great. If apple does not pull their finger out(which they are not as they said there will not be a new ipod out this year) they could really lose the top spot.
The wifi and "DJ" settings look great!

Don't believe Apple; they deny any speculations about new products - look how they denied the iPod video right up until the last minute. They are holding a special media event on the 12th September and are expected to launch a new iPod with WiFi capability.

Invitations have gone out for the 12t. Apple logo in middle, with searchlights pointing at it (like 20th century fox) and the words "It's Showtime" underneath. I'd say that comfirms whatever they're announcing, it's movie related. Hoping for the full screen video iPod.

Yeah, the invites are usually a hint of whats to come, like when they released the current big ipod, the invites had red cinema-like curtains, hinting at video playing.

When did Apple say there wouldn't be a new iPod this year? They've actually said nothing one way or the other, just like they always do. Even if there isn't a new iPod I honestly don't see the Zune being serious competition, it's realistically only going to be competing with all the other players. Microsoft might be able to artificially improve sales by spending millions and millions on advertising but unless it's cheaper I don't see a lot of potential ipod buying members of the public saying to themselves that they're gonna buy this instead. I might be wrong but the look of it is hardly very inspiring, there are other non-iPod players that look far better than this thing does.

Well please don't get your hopes up for the ipod on 12th sep.lol Coz I don't think it will happen. The thing I heard is they said they will not be another ipod this YEAR :O.

I think microsorf could take a big chunk from the ipod. Look at it this why, they are doing everything the ipod could do but months before its[ipod] release.
If you take a step back and take away the apple branding the ipod is very poor. It looks old the day you buy it, short battery life and problems. I replaced mine and 4 months after it broke again.

Coz everyone (not just you everyone on the net) Was saying there will be a new ipod out and it will have wifi and this and that but it never did. I just find it funny how somepeople put a romour out then everything thinks its true.

But to the main topid I really think zune will do alright now! Not another ipod till next year! When it does come out it will seem like old tech.

Well I didn't say that I just said people had speculated about it, which they did do and were wrong. Personally I didn't expect much; it would piss off too many customers - including me - who bought iPods last year.

Zune looks dreadful - WiFI, wow for about 2 hours before the thing is dead, its fat, no coick wheel and thus a difficult way of navigating, WMA - it has nothing going for it!

The hardware looks shit, the interface looks like an early iPod in reverse and the wi-fi doesn't seem to be of any real use. I don't see any instance where I'd be so desperate to get or share music that couldn't wait for me to plug my player in. Not at the expense of battery life anyway.

What I want Wi-Fi for is when I walk in my house the zune will automaticly update "podcasts(or zunecastslol)" That would be incredible don't you think. No more fussing about with computers to get podcasts, great.
Also again don't judge it before you have seen it for real. Also you have not seen the inface you are just going what someone has told you, copy cat.

Oh shut up you moron. Just because Bill Gates hit it right and dominates the computer bussness is no reason to hate them. What do you use Apple or linux.

Anyway just to say I really don't think that brick is not the zune. If you look here which was taken of the prototypes you can see that there are multiple ones.

I just don't think people should judge it on those pics.

It's horrible. iPods have just had their batteries souped up to 75% more video!

The iPod is miles thinner (it would seem) than the Zune...and uses iTunes which - with its new features - is even better.

The new Nano's are gonna be a Christmas hit.
