When it comes to listening to digital music, there's two major giants that are on the market today. The first being Apple Ipod, the second Microsoft Zune. Although Microsoft Zune may be a newcomer to this new digital music market, they aren't in any way lacking when compared to Apple Ipod. When making the choice between the two, you'll want to compare both side by side. We've done that in this article, to help make the decision making process easier for you when you decide on a digital music player.It seems that Microsoft has learned from the Apple Ipod's mistakes in many ways, and have thus benefited from these observations. For example, one of the advantages the Zune capitalized on is in the area of video. Apple's video screen was noted for being small in size and somewhat hard to view clips on it. The people at Microsoft recognized these weaknesses and designed a screen which is about .5"+ bigger than the Ipod's.Zune is also looking to the future as it boasts WiFi abilities. With a feature like this, Zune users will be able to send songs to their friends closeby. Your friend can listen to the song you've sent him or her for up to three days, but then they have to purchase it to continue listening to the song for after the 3 day limit. This is definitely an interesting addition that adds a community sharing-type element to digial music.Price isn't a deciding factor here. Both Ipod and Zune offer a 30GB player at $249. It's important to look at the features of each music player so you can decide what is right for you. The Microsoft Zune music selection may not be as large as iTunes, but with backing from Microsoft it grows larger and larger everyday.Personally, I tend to like Microsoft Zune better. Not only is the device easier to use, the screen is bigger and more attractive. I also see a bright future for this device under the leadership of Microsoft, it will be tough on Ipod to see this kind of competitor enter the ring.
