MP3 players: Zune vs. Gigabeat
What do you think?
by Jbjuice10 - 12/9/06 3:35 PM In reply to: Zune vs. Gigabeat by Jbjuice10I've heard that the zune doesn't have video content available yet. Besides that though is it better than the gigabeat? Also does the gigabeat still work well even if you don't have a media center pc?
You don't need a media center pc

Isn't that a "rejiggered" device?

"He said the Zune is not Vista compatible. It is a rejiggered Toshiba.."
Go figure why it's obvious why people compare the Toshiba.

Yes it is made by Toshiba BUT it is no a "rejiggered Toshiba". One look at the 2 side by side and you would know that right away. The Gigabeat is thiner, smaller and lighter (by .3oz) then the Zune. And as much as that sounds great the Zune's screen is bigger.
Also for the price of a 30gb Zune you can get a 60gb Gigabeat.
If you want to buy video content right away then the Gigabeat is the way to go but I wouldn't be surprised if MS puts out content after the new year.
All things to consider.
2 questions
by Jbjuice10 - 12/10/06 9:27 AM In reply to: Wrong by dragonfly1601Does the gigabeat still work well if you don't have a media center pc? and also is it possible that a new model of the zune could come out sometime in the spring or summer?
again, you don't need a media center pc
by ktreb - 12/11/06 9:36 AM In reply to: 2 questions by Jbjuice10although it may be helpful if you want to put your own video content on it. who knows when the zune will be updated. it can happen, but you'll drive yourself crazy. there's always something "better" around the corner.
Wrong again.

Look at sites that opened up the units and find same chips and more.
The Zune is one oddball design inside. Find a friend that's an electronics engineer and I'm sure they'll point out it looks like a rush job.
Example? That wifi antenna. Nuff said.
