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.

Control and User Interface The Zune has a scroll wheel or "dial" if you want to call it that, which is not half as cool as the iPod's touch wheel we've all grown used to. Still, I don't think it would be any less intuitive or less usable than the touch wheel. In fact, if this actually clicks like a combination safe lock, the tactile feedback may make it more user friendly. To each his own, but the iPod touch wheel still makes you go "cool!" and hence catches up to the Zune. iPod 1.5, Zune 1.5! Size and Weight Does the Zune fit in your pocket better than the iPod? No, because the iPod is 4.1 inches tall, 2.4 inches wide and about 0.43 inch thick, compared to the Zune, which is 4.4 inches tall, the same 2.4 inches wide and around 0.58 inch thick. The Zune is a wee bit taller and thicker than the 60GB iPod. Weight wise, the Zune is 5.8 ounces, or around 165 grams, while the iPod is around 4.8 ounces, or around 136 grams. These dimensions make the 30GB Zune a bit bigger and almost heavy as the 60GB iPod. The lighter iPod speeds by the Zune; iPod 2.5, Zune 1.5. |
