Archos 605 Wifi Vs. Zune 30GB

[oweb2]

Okay I have recently acquired a Archos 605 wifi, but I already have a Zune 30GB, Im still trying to determine which im going to keep and which im going to sell. ANy suggestions on which I shouold keep or sell???

ARCHOS

Zune.net | Zune 30GB

I like them for there obvious reasons, the archos for the wifi which I have a one time payment of 30.00 for, but I guess thats better than not having it at all at elast I can IM in class, especially since I turned my web access off my cell phone. The thing i skinda bulky but its soo preeetttttyyyy.

The Zune is my old reliable I love it to death but one of them has to go so which should I sell??

Same Memory space, the Zune program is soo much better than WMP now(last update) the Zune carries over Album Art, wheras the archos if it wasnt embeded into the MP3 files its not there, now I can add them, but I have synced a nice potion of my Library and thats some work to add album art.

Thoughts People Please?? Wife was absoluetly no help.

I love my Zune. But I have never used an Archos. Serren has one, maybe he'll chime in.

Just the pain of having to manage album art is enough for me to pick the Zune. Especially if you feel they are a close tie. Can you play games on your Archos? If you want to do some tweaking on your Zune you can play some games on it. I have yet to put some games on mine but plan on doing it sometime soon.

Zune FTW!

If you dump the Zune, please post on PGL. I'll pay you little to nothing for it. I miss my stolen one.

Zoom,

Ill make sure I contact you first if I dump it, I have given myself until monday to figure it out, I still have the box and everything, the headphones have never even been used, I bought some Shure headphones the first day I got my zune!

Yes you can play games on the Archos, and they are no where near as involvede as what you are going to do, also I never wanted to play games on the Zune without a touch screen (which the archos has) just doesnt seem that fun.

Nice. Didn't know it had a touchscreen. The process for putting games on the Zune is tedious now, but that will change once they officially launch all the game stuff.

Id probably say go with the archos if you dont mind the extra bulkiness just for the web connectivity alone, its a lot more useful than the zune. I love my zune and dont plan on getting anything different anytime soon I think I may upgrade to an 80 gig eventually.

I guess it depends on how you will be using it. The Archos ads quite a bit of features that the Zune currently doesn't have. I don't have and haven't played with the Archos, but it sounds sweet. Serren reviewed it here at PGL and gave it some proper love. I do love my Zune tho. That's a tough choice man! Sorry I can't be more help, but peruse Serren's review as he covered almost everything about it.
