Holiday Smackdown: iPod Touch versus Zune

Side-by-side comparison of some surprising results.

I am recovering addict iPod. Last fall I took my three year old tradition, when the headset jack on my black, 30 GB iPod Classic comes loose, so I'm with fuzzy sound on the right side. I do not have time to be determined - and funny enough, after a few days I did not miss much.

Even so, when the editor asked me to compare the Microsoft Zune Apple iPod Touch, I was sure my affinity for all hardware incubated in Cupertino, California, (I have a Mac user for years 5) would destroy my objectivity.

According to my information, here's my conclusion: The Zune is quite superb. Touch, however, is superfluous except Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL - news - people) iPod work schedule.

Cheaper than the highest gigabyte and touched at the same price as a classic, the Zune has a larger screen than the latter, and graphic quality as the previous. 120 GB Zune goes for $ 250, only $ 21 more than 8 GB Touch. 32 GB goes for touch-breaking 399th save $

And what did you with a touch? As anyone who ever knows what the iPhone ... without a phone. Touch is a web application for the case, you are in the range of Wi-Fi, but who wants to go to Hotspot hunting and if you have?

Most people who buy the Touch are required for the iPhone screen size, better video watching experience than any other iPod. But the camps is simply not enough: Even if the 32 GB, the best of luck in all your favorite music press, photos and movies.
