Resolved Question: Zune HD or Ipod Touch?


There are other questions like this but none of them helped me with a decision. Essentially I just need some guidance.

Okay, so I need a new mp3 player because my 30gb 1st Gen Zune just isn't cutting it anymore. My problem rests in which one of these newest gen mp3 players I want.

My Situation. A few factors make my decision hard.

-I love Microsoft. I love my Xbox and Xbox Live and I know they are planning on expanding into every possible market they can, therefore connecting all their devices into Live Anywhere or whatever they call it. Not to mention they could have some cool games for the Zune HD and maybe eventually use your wifi for some type of connection to Live? I also use my Xbox Live account on Zune marketplace and it's nice to have one account for two things, if I buy an episode on my Xbox 360, I can also use it on Zune marketplace and use my Microsoft points from my Xbox Live account to buy stuff on the Zune Marketplace.

-I want to buy a Macbook Pro. I already have an Alienware m15x, and I use Windows and have no problem with it..kinda goes along with first post. But I think it's be nice to have an ipod Touch and a Macbook since Apple is known for it's Music experience and simpleness of their products.

-I have a car that has a touchscreen DVD player on the dash and it has an ipod hookup, currently I just use an auxiliary cable to listen to my non-ipod players. It'd be cool to take advantage of that feature.

-I have a Palm Pre. I don't really know which one this leads me towards but I've even been using it for listening to music lately, it's also starting to have a decent share of apps(mind you not nearly close to apple's app store). But it does a lot of the stuff I feel I could probably do with a third gen touch or even an iphone.

I was planning on getting a Zune when it came out but I decided to wait till Christmas and possibly receive it as a gift. But recently I've been wanting to buy an ipod due to it's apps. I am very confused to which one to buy, I put in some decent hours into gaming every week so I also think Zune HD will have some nice games coming up, unfortunately that's not in stone and Apple already has a ton of apps and games out.

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place right now in terms of deciding, and I need some guidance.

Thanks in advance.
