Updated: Zune vs iPöd vs Arschnos vs Примадонна Mp3

The best portable mediaplayer, Zune, gets more competition.
Oder?
I have done a very good comparazion between the three big brands in the market. Zune, Arschos and Ipöd. Check out before you buy!
Updated: Примадонна included! (see below)


ZUNE

In one corner: sweet, sleek, all-ruling, best unt very social Zune from big reliable company Microsoft. Hier nice picture of best looking colour.

Pros

• Play and stores more than 3000 movies because big HARD-drive. HARD-drive (tm) is Microsoft innovation! Storage is made up by same stuff you got in komputer. But very very small. And it is Hard. That means it is very rezilient against shock, bumps, screwdriver, throwing and running. Hard.
  

• It come in more than 495 colours. And screen do more than thousands of colour at same time!

• It do Radio-Lan (wi-fi) which means you can use it and surf on internet where ever there is radio broadcast - even in Belarus and Kazakhstan it work! Nice Microsoft.

• You can play game (minesweeper is so best). Because it is Microsoft you don't have to worry DRM (digital right management) - it built in!

• It also comes packed with a telephone and GPRS-navigator. GPRS-navigator means you can use it when drive car and it will tell you where to go. "Go home" it say when drink Zagorka and drive. (Joke). The telephone is good when calling home to tell you be home in time because Zune help you get home right way.
  

• You can also store millions of photo of your pet cow. And really really good - you can share photos (no fee!) with other friend who have Zune and you meet in street. Instead of showing picture or photo on your Zune you send to him over radio and he look in own Zune. Good when he wan't look at phot indecent cow alone ja? :-) You can also share all your thousand of movies you downloaded from YouTube or recorded from TV. Yes you can use Zune record movies from television. Without TV! Fantastic! You just send movie over radio to friend and he look. He even can share it with you back if in street! That is why Microsoft use slogan "Be social"

• Battery will last three week when using many hours.
  

• Big 42" screen to watch everything.

• Best sound when playing music. Best.
  

• Play DVD, DAT, Blur-ray, HD-DVD and CD

• Integrate seamless with Microsoft Music Store - www.allofmp3.com and www.bulgariancds.com. From your own komputer home or library or internet café or free air!
  

Cons:
None! No, seriously - Microsoft has done best player that ever will be! It can do everything!


ARSCHOS

In other corner: Hi-tech, nice design cheapo Arschos flag-ship unt latest Gmini XS200 from innovative Arschos.

Pros:

• Comes with ear-plugs.
• Nice green screen
• Good volume
• Built in AM-radio
• Small size
• Really nice design - brusched metal look!
  
• Made of plastics which is smart - low weight.
• Comes packaged with own matching belt for using when running or throwing javelin.
• Good fun game - snake.
  

Cons:

• Not Zune.
• No Phone
• No FM-radio (no wi-fi)
• Low battery from start. You have to charge.
  

Ipöd
In third corner: Fruit company that in later time thought good idea starting selling mediaplayer after not doing well with komputer - Apple and their not-nice iPöd.

Now they bring an all new model - IpödTouch to market to try do better than Zune in market.

They bring a model you touch. No buttons. Not good apple. Really dirty. And they steal idea from Zune. (You can touch Zune any way you like already yes)

Pros:
---
(Maybe Microsoft lower price on best player...)

Cons:

• No movie play. Just one movie with ugly dude in bandana.
• No enough buttons.
• To small, I dont have hands and fingers like girl. Do you?
• No ear-phone - bad sound.
  
• No phone
• No radio
• No hard-disk (prone to break when using)
• Stupid stupid use and interface. You can only use with komputer and really expensive program - iTunes. Not working without komputer = cannot use outdoor.
• No GPRS - you will never find on map.
• No datatransfer over GPS-modem
• Ugly. Really ugly (no brown? - that is sooo no nice.)
• Screen not even nice green as Arschos.
• Small screen - size like no bigger than my thumb. That is dumb.
• No SMS
• No "Be Social"
• No battery you can change with friend.
• No CD, DVD, Blur-ray or other good format. No format at all?
  
• Not Microsoft Music Stores like allofmp3.com or www.bulgariancds.com

Update - just in!
Примадонна~mp3 [медиа-проигрывателей супер mp3]

I got tips from reader to include new mp3 and radioplayer from manufacturer in Belarus.

Is a special model named after the hit song "Примадонна" (Primadonna) by russian superstar Alla Pugatjova (now in Russian TV-show Fame Factory).

It comes packed with sweet functions that make Arschos and Apple drool like retard turky. (Not Microsoft)

How about both AM/FM-radio? Nice many buttons and knobs. Really resilienz, water proof (good use outdoor!). Play morse-code. No battery. Fits well in rack from every maker. Chic retro look. I like.

Many I/O capablities: scart, AMX, spdif, ethernet, scart, watt, xVGA, xVid, div, tuner, ak47A, VHS.

Handles most media format: BetaMix, Blur-ray, Hard-Drive, Floppy, Orb and CV.

It has own special super processor from Motoroila that handles all defragment of sound signal and data output through northbridge. Use back- and forward compatible PCI card slot for expanding memory (more movies and picture)

Special MUX that blend and process song automatic synchronous with video and subtitle.

Automatic update of Codecs needed to boot and reorg through built in musjka-modem.

This can be a killer media-player for all that cannot buy Zune. Really cheap.

Summary
I did extensive research and good objective comparing. As you can se above Zune still best player and best buy. Arschos good buy but not best. Apple try and try and try but they cannot do better player than Microsoft when only stealing ideas. They have to innovate by themselves and they do not have good track-record as Microsoft who innovated Internet and komputers (Windows!) and mouse and HARD-disc and (the list goes on and on yes).
Propably Apple started with music player to later than Microsoft and they cannot catch up when only copying old model yes? Same like komputer where Microsoft innovated and other try follow and Microsoft do 99% of market today because better and more money?

If not many money - we recommend Primadonna~mp3 player. Cheap alternative for poor people.

If I do forecast media player with advance VAR-model (Hogia) in komputer:
I estimate that in two year we see Zune as leading player with 96% market share (up 7 % from today 53%) and Primadonna maybe 8% market share. Rest maybe 4-5% market?

Buy Zune. It best.
