iPod vs. Zune: Get, Set, Go!
20 Sep, 2006, 3:13 pm IST | Aalaap Ghag
We'll drag the current king of digital audio players, the iPod, with the new kid on the block, the Zune, spec by spec, and tell you who will win.

Battery life The 30GB iPod shouts around 14 hours of music playback time, 4 hours of picture slide shows along with music in the background or around 3.5 hours of video playback. The Zune's performance is a sort of a mixed bag, with around 12 hours of music playback, which is 2 hours less than the iPod, but it bumps up during picture slide shows to around 4.5 hours, while keeping video playback time around the same at 3.5 hours. However, it's not known if the 4.5 hour slide show time also includes music playing in the background. The race is still on; but no overtaking here. iPod still 1, Zune still 0.5. Screen size Both the iPod and the Zune have a 240x320 resolution color display, but the iPod has a 2.5-inch one while the Zune has a larger 3-inch one. The orientation of the screen on the iPod is landscape (1.33:1), while the Zune makes use of the space more effectively by having a portrait orientation (1:1.33), where big CD cover art is displayed on top while still having place for the track info below that. The orientation can be switched from portrait to landscape in the Zune, which races ahead! iPod 1, Zune 1.5!  |
