I'd rather get the Zune for several reasons:

1) I own an iPod 3 Generation that's about three years old now, and already I've had to get the battery replaced, which cost me too much money. And not only that, but recently, my family and I just got a new computer, and I had to import all of my music onto it.

2) About seven of my friends got an iPod touch for Christmas this year. Within the first two weeks, only one person still had the iPod that didn't have a cracked screen/blew up. These things break really easily, I know firsthand.

3) iPod has a crapload of restrictions that I don't really want to get into. And iTunes slows down my computer.

4) The cost is cheaper, and who cares about Apps and other various add ons? I'm looking at price, how many songs it holds, and if it's battery lasts longer than the competing brand.

5) The Zune looks way better. 'Nuff said.

Anyway, I'd rather just go out and buy a video camera instead. I'm sure it's not that big a deal to lug one around, you can get them pretty small.

Sorry apple... better make a deal with ATI and quick or you lost this match.... the only way apple will be able to have any pull is if the camera is decent (5 mp or more) Basically The new ipod will have a camera (which will be weak like a cell phone camera…) and a dedicated graphics chip (no where near as powerful as the zunes) and a voice reocrder and your stuck with itunes, The zune will have an OLED screen, be cheaper, Will not force i tunes down your throat, and will also have apps and HD radio and a better battery life… i think ill sacrifice the camera for the Ntegra processor which will be able to play WAY more advanced games.

The built-in camera would be great for anyone who doesn't wanna carry around a camera, or have a cell phone with one (which I don't). All-in-all, I wouldn't really mind spending 50-100 dollars more for the new iPod Touch. I really need a thin device with a camera.

Big deal you don't have an app that takes you directly to Facebook or Twitter... but you still have a web browser that can take you there. Almost all cell phones have camera's now-a-days. Almost everyone has a cell phone. The Zune HD will have better quality playback and the HD radio is awesome. Plus you can playback any movies you have onto your TV in HD. <br>And biggest difference of ALL to me is PRICE.. <br>You might get more with the TOUCH but you can NOT beat the price of the ZUNE HD.

I can't wait for the new iPod Touch to come out in September! As cool as it sounds to listen to HD radio... I'd prefer to have a device where I could watch Youtube videos, browse the web, take some pictures (I've never really had anything camera-wise except for a cell phone), and have a big screen for watching my videos (about 50 gigs- I hope to get the 64 gb version). Plus I have a ton of different games and apps to choose from. I'm not an apple fanboy, I think the Zune HD is gonna be pretty good and I'm happy that Microsoft might be able to compete with Apple for touchscreen devices. That being said, I just think that this generation iPod Touch is a better fit for me. Yeah, I'm pretty pumped. I can't wait for the new iPod Touch to come out in September!
