..

i failed to mention how the apps add tot the ipod.. i'll throw out a couple examples. Slingplayer: Live cable tv, right in my hand, anywhere i have wifi. maps, gives you turn by turn directions, and can tell you where you are, when on the internet. Had i had a functioning ipod next to me, i'd say more. but i don't:)

iPod vs zune..and beyond

Of course, this is only my opinion, and I'm willing to back it up. In iPod vs Zune, current generation, iPod wins. Even the current generation ipod touch beats the next generation zune "hd." Lets compare specs and whatnot. The iPod touch has 3 storage capacities: 8,16, and 32. The Zune hd has two: 16 and 32. the 32 does run cheaper, by 100 smackers. Next: features. iPod, appstore, beautiful music and video player, and plenty of organization and fun utilities. It also has a built in speaker, and stereo Bluetooth. The Zune hd: hd radio, music and video playback. It also has similar internet capabilities as the ipod touch. Here's what's crazy. The Zune "HD" has a screen resolution of 480 x 272. The iPod touch has a screen resolution of 480 x 320. Do you see the difference, I do see the iPod touch having a few more pixels then the zune hd! Good work microsoft! Also, in order to watch your 720p hd movies, you have to attach your zune to a hd dock, which i would bet runs between 50 and 100 bucks. theres your price difference. Also, for tech people like me, you always need more.the ipod can be jail broken, which allows you to take complete control of the ipod, and change every aspect of it. Last time i checked, the zune hasn't brought enough interest to the hacker community to even attempt it. So all in all, the CURRENT ipod touch, in my opinion, beats out the next generation zune hd which comes out next week. Not to mention new ipods come out on wed. So we'll probably have to run this again. Also, this doesn't make me an apple "fanboy." i will never buy a mac over my pc, and i would probably buy a google phone over the iphone, if i had that choice.

Been awile.

OK so since it has been so long since I've done this, I thought I would again today. But I don't have much to say! So pretty much if anybody reads this, email me some kind of tech question! I need something to solve!
