Ok - now that's funny... Zune was discontinued by Microsoft in 2011 - they just could not compete with the success and popularity of Apple's products... To say the Zune devices are better than iPods goes completely against the opinion of just about every tech expert out there...
Lemme guess - you have a Windows Phone? That would make you one of 72 people on the planet that own a personal Windows Phone.
I actually have one that is my work issue cell phone. Folks complain about how rigid iPhones are compared to Andriod phones -- well Windows phones are pretty much completely uncustomizable, not to mention awkward, non-intuitive, and blah.
Between my wife and I , we have had thee iPods, including an ancient 2nd gen, three iPhones (4 and a pair of 5S's), an iPad 3, an iPad mini with Retina, and a Macbook Pro. Only issue I had with all of these devices is a hard drive failure (non-Apple component) on the MacBook. When I upgrafded my iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5S, ATT paid me $140 for the old phone. I paid $200 for that phone (with a 2 year contract).
Back on topic - the system integration is what makes Apple products so desireable for older people -- they don't want to or know how to tinker with settings and customization -- they just want it to work. And that's what Apple does - it just works.
-Z-man.
