Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano.

  16. I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  17. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  21. Ola! Akuadi,
    Thanks, on a related note The Linux file systems are extremely powerful and they work great, particularly the Ext3 file system. It is an extremely robust and mature file system. The file system remains consistent even after a system crash or unexpected power failure. In such cases, you need not to perform long hard drive checks for repairing the file system. There is no possibility of disk fragmentation and a number of more advanced feature and direct deletion of files is one among them. When you delete a file, it is not moved to trash and you do not encounter any message box. But this feature increases the chances of accidental deletion and require Linux Data Recovery if you remove any significant file.
    Keep up the good work
