A tale of two super sized gadget blogs…

Ryan Block of Engadget and Jason Chen from Gizmodo have different outlooks on the whole Zune thing.

To start off, if you don’t remember, Ryan Block had one hell of a time getting the software to work for him last year with the Zune 30 launch. I am not making excuses for him, but I am sure that is still on his mind, especially since it wasn’t a wide spread problem.

Well Ryan goes off on the software 1st and foremost. He complains about the lack of Mac Support. Now, I have to believe that the market share of MAC OWNERS that would consider buying a Zune has to be very small and most likely not worth the development cost. I am not slamming Apple Users, but the core Mac User Base or at least the Apple folks I know, would never consider buying a Micro$oft product.

All and all, Ryan says no to Zune… Not worth it. He recommends other non-ipod choices instead. Read Ryan’s Take.

Now, the Gizmodo guy that likes to shove things into his pants likes Zune and recommends them.

Check out Jason Chen’s Take too!
