Heroes? Really? All up-front and center?

Alright then.

@crapcakes: My thoughts exactly. I have rarely stopped watching shows because they started to suck (I watched all of season three of LOST, and never stopped watching SNL), but I checked out halfway through this season. They made the show all about plot twists, regardless of whether or not it contradicts existing show mythology.

@crapcakes: Agreed, Heroes has to be one of the worst shows on TV.

It was too much effort to replace the image with a Lost, Entourage or 24 logo?

TOTAL CRAP. 16/32 gig? Are you serious? My music won't even fit on that. MS dropped the ball.

I haaaaaaate IPOD's, but density drives the bus on this one, and its cruising right past MS's almost had me'ville.

@Rob Yeahok: Considering that the majority of the top selling PMP's on the market don't even go beyond 32GB in size, I'd say that Microsoft knows what it's doing, as does Apple, since the iPod touch is a hit product. I don't see them offering a 64GB Zune HD successfully at the moment, as it would probably be prohibitively expensive.

@Rob Yeahok:

...what? The iPod Touch is 32GB capped. The iPod Classic is 120 or 160, don't remember. If you want a Zune version, you can get a 120GB one.

You guys that claim to need 32GB or more for your music drive me up a wall. That is more music than you can possibly listen to between periods where you can hook it to a computer and update the library. And if you are claiming you need it for you uncompressed library, that just FURTHER proves how out of touch you are. None of these PMP's with the exception of some super high dollar ones that neither MS or Apple make, and you probably can't afford, have the proper audio processors inside them to make use of any music encoded about 256kbps MP3's.

Hell, I have had the same 4GB on my iPhone of music, and even listening every single day, I still don't feel the need to cycle it out all the time. I update as I go and remove things when I get tired of them, and it still stays at around 4-5GB.

I think people like you convince themselves they need more than they do.

@VulnoX: When I owned an 80GB iPod video, I was fairly certain that I'd never want to go lower than that. I like having a huge well of capacity to dump my content into, regardless of how unnecessary it seems. When the touch was released, I reevaluated this position based on the feature set involved. If not for the features, then capacity is all that there would be. That's the only reason why people even bother paying more for this when a player at more than 2-4 times the capacity can be had for so much less.

Yes. Finally! I can not tell you how excited I am and how long I've been waiting!

*turns back to computer*

Oh, sorry post, my lunch just arrived. I wasn't actually talking to you.

Arrgh, without an 80 or 120GB version, do not want. An entire season of Battlestar Galactica plus the four thousand songs in basic rotation plus various podcasts will not fit on one of those.

Grumble grumble. I suppose I'm stuck waiting for the larger variants to be released. Meanwhile, my trusty Z80 serves faithfully.

@Convair 990A: I can only imagine an HDD being a detriment on performance in something like this.

Maybe he was referring to the menu font on the first Zune.

@Nick: i know, and to be honest if they open up development as i expect them to do and with that bad ass tegra inside, if they add a phone this will be a killer gadget to own, i mean my wife needs a new music player, because she likes her little nokia phone, so ill probably get one for her, but for me i really want this in phone version to replace my old iphone
