Zune Guy Buys iPod classic, Hell Freezes, Apocalypse Nears!
No, we are not kidding: the infamous Zune Guy, that dude who got three Zune tattoos, and then decided to get rid of them, says now that he avoided buying a Zune last time he was at Best Buy and got an iPod classic 80GB. He openly admitted it in the Zune Scene forums.
And low and behold, it’s a black iPod classic 80gb. When I was in Best Buy I looked around at the other players, and they sold no Creatives in the store, so the only choices were iPods, Zunes, Insignas, Samsung and Sony. So when looking at which had everything available in store (I despise UPS) I went with the iPod. I more than likely will regret this decision but I will let you all know down the road. I do like the weight and feel of the device thus far.
At least he’s looking at the alternative, but at this rate he’s going to end up with a lot of scars. I wonder how many iPod owners would change to Zune to see. Are you an iPod owner? Would you do it? [Zune Scene]

A few people in my office won’t buy an ipod for the express reason there is no inbuilt radio. One of the other staff has the radio remote, and it adds bulk to her daily bicycle ride to and from work (for fitness).
I personally don’t need it, but a lot of people like to hear up to the minute news, commentary and other radio like additions including the music they like on their radio station.
We have four iPod Nanos in my house (or 3 since once got smashed). As much as I love the iPod, in the last week I’ve been thinking about making the switch to the 8GB flash Zune. It’s a combination of annoyance with iTunes and loss of the old beloved Nano form factor. With the Zune I can have the form factor I like with the bigger screen and hopefully less application frustration.
