ragin on Zune for having no accessories
At first accessories were kind of hard to come by, but lately I have been pretty impressed with how many places I have found accessories. Just about every place you can get an Xbox also has Zune accessories. For the most part they just offer the Microsoft ones, but they are pretty nice so thats not really a problem. The massive variety isn't there, but if you need the basic stuff(cases, sync cables, chargers, etc), they are easy to find.
Sorry about dragging this thread out, but it just seems like there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the Zune.
you are using it on a pc right? or are you using boot camp?
i see. do you like the zune?
How can somone who favors iPod complain about the included themes when iPods have none, no matter how bad they are? (unless there have been upgrades I'm unaware of)
I feel sorry for this guy, because if Apple wants to improve screen size and keep portability, their going to have to follow suit, unless they make the entire UI widescreen, which would unfortuantely decrease your menu viewing realestate. And I think a touch screen plus video-watching is a very bad idea unless you're wearing gloves.
It's pretty easy. If they look like crap then it's probably better not to have them. The iPod doesn't look like crap since it only has the UI with no "themes". Simply using the Zune was enough to demonstrate that.
sticking with the ipod.
Maybe I'll get a Zune for my brother (a PC user) for christmas.
I don't agree with you here. Think about your computer's desktop, you can use a crappy image and make it hard to read, useless and a shame for Macs everywhere. But, if you choose the right one you can even show them in a large thread like this one. Also, just because you have the option, it doesn't mean you have to use it.

True,it doesn't look like crap. It doesn't look like anything. Like mraya said, it's very plain, and in my opinion, quite boring. Simple is nice, but the utilitarian thing gets old really fast. Frankly, for a company like Apple that promotes innovation and creativity, I'm surprised keep customization so limited.
