I think I might be leaving iPodTouchFans. Apple will have to do something amazing to get me to buy the iPod Touch 3g. The Zii Egg is amazing. I don't think Apple is going to add all the stuff the Zii Egg has. What do you think about the Zii Egg? Will it finally amke you leave your iPod Touch and say goodbye to Apple?

I have a 3GS, but im contemplating buy the zii egg lol. But ill see how it pans out, and what the 3rd party apps scenario looks like. But the iphone is still the worlds greateest phone lol.

i think we're all expecting too much from the egg.
we'll have to see whats its like to use, remember, ITS MADE BY CREATIVE!
it may have great specs but nothing can compare to the touches multi-touch and easy to use interface.

The Egg has multi-touch, and runs Android; one of the best OS's i have used on a portable media device.

No. Apple will win. You pay for the name when you pruchase apple products. It's like, you get designer jeans, they're more exspensive, due to the fact your paying for the name. That's why Tesco Value jeans are like £5, 'cus the name's shit. But Bench Jeans are like £60, 'Cus they look better, and you get the name.
To shorten it down, No, Apple will win, Because of their name. And Rep.

yes but you cant use multi-touch on anroid, do you people bother doing research?
the zii egg does fascinate me but the fact that it has a 1.3 megapixel camera turns me off which means that it will take very small pictures, another thing is that i will miss the app store, another problem of mine is that what will be used to get media to the Egg? iTunes surely wont allow it.

Well, the fact that apple has not released any sort of info about a new iPod touch means that they will look into the products of their competitors to gain information on how to make their competing product better.

apple NEVER releases information about their upcoming devices, when they do release information it will be big and will be released in a press conference where the whole world will know

I do not understand why people would be willing to pay 10+ times the money for a freakin logo. Paying for their name is stupid, unless their device is just incomparable to the other.
To be honest I'd love to see the Zii beat the iTouch. That way Apple has to come up with something even more great for us. Competition is always good for the consumer O=D
Btw you guys do realize the Zii Egg is just for developers right?

I doubt for long that people will. WIth Windows Vista, people were almost forced to go with Mac if they wanted something stable and good (linux aside). Now, with Windows 7 being the best OS I have ever used (and yes, that includes Leopard) I think that Apple will need to lower its prices.
For instance, the Polycarbonate White macbook would make a great laptop for around 700$. Not 1000$.

I don't like the options in the poll. I don't have any intention whatsoever of purchasing the Egg, but that doesn't mean I think it's "cheap."

Yeah, I'm with Awal... The poll options suck. I probably won't purchase it, but I don't think it is cheap, I just don't want to go through the pain of un-DRMing all my music...

If you are into music, get the zii egg, bye, never met ya, never want to. If you're into movies, games, overall fun, then stick to an iPod. No apps, hell, the music isn't as good. That coverflow has arrows, meaning it is going to be a tap to see EVERY album, not worth it one bit.
I would give the zii egg to someone that is like 11 or 12, its not a full-fledged iPod Touch, but its cheaper and would give them the responsibility for one. Then when they are like 14, 15, boom, iPod Touch.
Have fun on your app storeless, itunesless mp3 player.

Zii Egg looks good, but I've got a ton of DRM iTunes music and video that wouldn't work.
Also, every product from Apple I've bought I've been mostly happy with. I can't say the same thing about Creative, Archos, Microsoft, or any other brand. That does count for something. Also, what other MP3 player maker has a store you can walk in to and get warranty service right there?

So, you know, an App Store that has support for everything that you can do via jailbreaking is a crappy version of the iPhone.

I am an apple fan boy, but I've played around with the google android, and the music player is like a 3rd party app, it isn't one of the MAIN parts of the phone. With the iPhone and iPod, everything flows nicely. With the iPod Touch, you get so much more for probably around $50 more I am suspecting. And it doesn't have that over-used look. Most smart phones and the Zii EGG all have this look in their icons, they are over used IMO.

I know, on the touch (and iPhone) everything flows seamlessly. I, however, think that Android's biggest thing is being open-source. I know, the Zii isn't the most original (and probably not the best) device out there.
Still, the Zune HD is nice looking.

First off, Apple needs to start ripping off it's customers. I mean they're products are great, but non-expandable memory? The camera has been on many MP3-MP4 players for a while now and with Apple, it hasn't even been confirmed yet! I agree though, there's something about Apple products that get the win for me in the end, but come on Apple. Compete, compete, and once more, compete.
