As new Zunes disappointing battery data is official now, we can relax, take our time and compare these two creations from Apple and Microsoft. Zune 80 quite compares with Ipod 80GB Classic, though it’s battery resourses seem to be weaker, but what about Ipod touch? What’s more important — gigabytes or sweet multitouch screen and the bigger price? It’s harder to choose between flash Zune and Ipod Nano, it’s up to you — WiFi or 1.8 inch screen? Looking forward to Novemver, we created useful comparative tables for your entartaiment and argues.

They are below the link with some more battery data and “premium” Microsoft earphones. Enjoy!

And now about flash Microsoft Zune and iPod Nano 4/8 Gb:

* — these tests on Zune’s batteries were with wireless disabled, using 128Kbps WMA audio and 500Kbps WMV video. So, playing other formats then Microsoft, with higher bitrate or with WiFi on can bring then down.

And now take a look at something, Microsoft claims to be “premium earphones”

Premium as hell. I’m still for iPod, you?

Good comparison but I dont think the Zune competes with the touch right now. Wait till next year.

hello, well what i can tell you,”zune” bigger screen(i know the same resolution) but the pixels are perfect y cant see any problem, the audio quality, wuao, sorry but it is better than ipod audio quality. have fm radio, not preloaded virus( jejeje ; ) )

now: “premium” headphones whit only 20gz to 15khz dont look to much “”premium”", my sony headset have 6hz to 23khs,now. that is premium!!!

i will buy the new ZUNE 80, because 2 of my friends have the zune 30, everidody else have ipod yes i know, but i compares the audio cuality and zune is incredible acurated.

well what i can say, dont love microsoft or apple(dont hate billy or steve) i just love tecno of good cuality, that is why i have a sony nw-a810 the audio beat zune and ipod, but just 8GB is not enougth, zune 80GB… is something good ; )

Looking at these specs, the Zune 80GB is right up there with the 80GB iPod classic. It weighs less, has a bigger screen, an fm tuner, and you can’t forget WiFi. I think the only thing hurting how the Zune does in the market is definitely Apple’s reputation on being innovative and putting out reliable and trustworthy products. In my opinion, you get more out of your money by getting a Zune. Without thinking about Apple or Microsoft’s reputation(although it does have some factor in this), doesn’t Zune look like it could be a good choice over the iPod?
