Ενα συγκριτικό αλλιώτικο από τα άλλα...
MP3 Player Showdown
Apple iPod vs. Microsoft Zune
Other tech sites will bore you with in-depth "technical details" and performance specs in their product analysis. At BBspot we pull back from the boring benchmarks to compare the superficialities, and we do it all on a single page.
In the digital music player market iPod is the leader. Last time, we compared the Dell DJ and the iPod with iPod being the winner. In real life it was the winner too. The Dell DJ no longer exists. Will Microsoft have better luck with its new Zune player?
Names
iPod - Sounds like something aliens might erupt from or a place where a person would keep a spare glass eye.
Zune - Rhymes moon, tune, loon, goon, spoon and a lot of other -une and -oon words. This will make it easier to put in pejorative limericks.
Advantage - Zune
Domain Names
iPod.com - Redirects to Apple's product page about iTunes.
Zune.com - A big black page that says "Under Construction" and has a title of "Pagina nueva 2." Now that's what I call planning.
Advantage - iPod
Curative Properties
Does either MP3 player cure cancer, rickets or consumption?
iPod - No
Zune - No
Advantage - Tie
