The new Zune...

[SlinkyMike]

Hey whats this doing in the Mac section? Read on...

We all know that there has been a lot of noise about the iPhones lack of (IMO crummy) features like MMS, kazillion megapixel camera etc.

Copy and paste is a strange omission... cant honestly say that its been a bane but I have needed it on a handful of occasions.
What I cannot bear however and what just makes ZERO 'effing sense is the inability of the device to be synced wirelessly - its got bluetooth, its got WiFi... what's the deal dudes?

Nothing irks me more than completing a download then having to scratch about for a cable and fetch my phone in order to sync (my iPhone syncs to a smart playlist in iTunes which has turned out to be a very cool strategy so from my side the whole process is optimised but Apple has thrown a spanner in the works by not including wireless sync dammit!

Unfortunately that is not the end of my rant, nay -it is merely the backstory.

The kicker is this:

Freakin' Zune has wireless sync now!!
Honestly Apple - get a clue because your hubris just came round and bit you in the ass - you are now the butt of your own damn childish jibes.
"Hey, I'm a Zune."
"...and I'm an iPod."
"I can sync wirelessly plus I have that cool sharing function where someone can have one of my tracks for a few plays before buying it themselves."
"...err ...uhm..." **stands around trying to look cute and edgy**

Seriously: WTF?

Zune always had wireless sync...

IMO the Zune is a much better hardware/software device but the iPod is more widely accepted

 

[VertigoZA]

then buy a Zune.

Eh? The new Zune doesn't exist except in concept art and you're already pronouncing the death of the iPod. It looks like it might be good but at least wait until it's been officially announced.

We all know that there has been a lot of noise about the iPhones lack of (IMO crummy) features like MMS, kazillion megapixel camera etc.

With the new OS3 software to be released soon for the iPhone, you will be able to send MMS and cut & paste.

If you want a kazillion megapixels then buy a decent camera. People taking photos with their camera are not looking for the next National Geographic Photography award.

You can also sync wirelessly to your Mac with an application called wiSync, but maybe you will be able to do it with the new OS software release.

So do a little research before you come on here bragging about the Zune!
