Send Real Messages With A Red Zune Valentine

I've ordered my Valentine a red 80GB Zune, now it's your turn! Microsoft has announced a special edition red Valentine's Day Zune to help you send the right message to your sweetheart on February 14th. Share the love with several new engraved designs ranging from toxic to sickeningly sweet, all meant to enhance your personal message of blind devotion to a miserable relationship.

Use a red Zune to inform your Valentine that you have no future together with a message like; "If I really loved you, this would have been an iPod Touch instead" or send this sweet message to your babies momma; "When your squircle gets stuck think of me... because I'm stuck with you and now you're stuck with Zune". Take the opportunity to tell your little gold digger how much she means to you by buying her a gift that's sure to have her doubting your intentions for the rest of the year.

Place your order at Zune Originals by February 4th to ensure delivery by Valentine's Day. Because nothing says "I think so very little of you" better than sending someone a brand new Zune.

Hmm...the defective Zune? I've had my Zune 80 since its launch date and it works flawlessly. That Zune pad works perfectly and if anything, I personally find it much easier to use than the click wheel.

If I ever wanted to give someone I think of lowly a gift, I would give them an iPod so they can deal with the slow and buggy software known as iTunes and with that small and very easily scratched screen. In the meantime, I'll keep the glass screen on my Zune and the backing that although not shiny, does not scratch at all.

"the Zune 80 has had all kinds of manufacturing issues with the metal parts and the squircle."

Huh??? Where did you read this? I've never heard of any manufacturing issues with the Zune, other than crap that Apple lovers make up. Can you reference this?

My Zune 80 works flawlessly - including the Zune Pad.

I wish I could say the same about the iPod I had. The hard drive failed in it, forcing me to look at the Zune in the first place. I'm glad I made the switch.

Newsflush! Ryan is a bit overwhelmed with his Zune squircle jerking. It's iPod or die trying to be one.

[Vinney G.]

Yo Ryan. it's NEWSFLASH !!! you can't do anything right like that zune hump

Sucks when people can't accept the fact that the ipod isn't the BEST in the world. The touch is an unfair comparison. Fanboys from any camp are just PETTY! The Zune 80 turned out to be better than you can handle. Read the reviews and check USER opinions (sorry,..........your god is DEAD!) Even Sony picked up the pace and sounds better than BOTH (just not a high-capacity competitor - AND read the reviews and user opinions). Zune isn't far behind w/sound quality. OOPS,.......... You said it best bro - Ouch! Dr. James gots pwned. Score one for Ace of spades yo!

Ah spoken like a true ignorant iFan. Actually, "iPods have been criticized for their short life-span, fragile hard drives, and planned obsolescence. A 2005 survey conducted on the MacInTouch website found that the iPod had an average failure rate of 13.7%. It concluded that some models were more durable than others. In particular, failure rates for iPods employing hard drives was usually above 20% while those with flash memory had a failure rate below 10%, indicating poor hard drive durability. In late 2005, many users complained that the surface of the first generation iPod nano can become scratched easily, rendering the screen unusable. A class action lawsuit was also filed. Apple initially considered the issue a minor defect, but later began shipping these iPods with protective sleeves."

c|net, yahoo tech, PC magazine all say the Zune 80 is better than the iPod Classic. iPod Touch what? Let's keep comparing like products - you cannot make that comparison between Zune 80 and iPod Touch (even though the Zune offers a worthy alternative)

Uh... Breaking News Ryan- the Zune 80 has had all kinds of manufacturing issues with the metal parts and the squircle. iPod's record is flawless. Why are boys in Seattle working on the Zune instead of men like Apple has?

[Ryan]

newflash, the zune 80 is better then the ipod classic (which is the actual device the zune 80 is competing against, not the ipod touch). And its not really close.

You want to show someone you think very little of them give them an ipod classic who's design hasn't been updated in years.

apple doesn't have a high storage media player that is good for watching videos--MS does. what does apple when the boys in seattle have only been doing portable media for about 2 years now?
