LOL. Another Apple fanboy...
No, the Zune isn't dead, any more than the iPod is. Sure, iPods have a nicer interface...and their own mafia, just as bad as the M$ Brigade, waiting to slay the unbeliever. ;p
The ONLY iPod that uses wifi (or web browsing) is the extremely expensive 8 GB iPod Touch. EVERY Zune supports wifi, altho I could care less, honestly; I didn't buy it for this feature.
I directly compared the features - in the store, playing back both video and audio - of the 80 GB iPod and the quivalent 80 GB Zune and the iPod lost. Also, bluntly, I don't give a rat's posterior about web browsing off a damn media player. Sorry.
Simply put, the 80 GB Zune has a better screen (same resolution, about 1/3 larger) for video playback. The 80 GB iPod's screen is just too damn tiny to easily read subtitles and I watch a lot of foreign video. The iPod Touch IS sexy, sure, but has an 8 GB storage limit and a much heftier price tag.
Before anyone goes around crying "the Zune is dead" or, for that matter, "the iPod is dead", should then explain to me why Best Buy is constantly sold out of any random model of ANY player. Wanna know the asnwer? Because people BOUGHT THEM. In fact, in my area 80 GB Zunes are selling like hotcakes; I had to call around to find one in stock o.O .
