Which is the better product, Apple's iPod or Microsoft's' Zune? Why is either better?

Question

I'm getting one or the other for Christmas, and I can't decide which one would be better. If you know anything about either one and how they stack up against eachother, any advice would be nice.

Answer 1

I like Apple Ipod because its has a really slim shape and its simple too. It's also been around for a while

I'd do more research on it if i were you

Answer 2

well both of them has slightly different functions. i guess it would depend on which function you need/want to determine the best of the two.
However Zune, being the latest device, has features where the ipod doesnt. It has a larger screen, the ability to exchange songs with other Zunes wirelessly due the to fact that it is WIFi-based and a built-in FM radio.
But if you compare it to the ipod, it still lacks alot of things: no games, alarm clock, stopwatch, world clock, password-protected volume limiter, equaliser, calendar, address book or notes module, and you cannot download podcast.
Oh, although you can exchange songs wirelessly, there are limitations: it only last in your pod for three days.
However, no matter what the features the zune may have, the ipod can simply thwart the new features due to its critical mass in the industry.
