Argh! After playing behind a very slow threesome (comprised of a father, son, and a friend) for several holes watching a huge gap appear ahead of them I finally worked up the courage to ask them to speed it up a little. The problem was they weren’t hitting balls, they were standing around talking. So I walked over to the son who was supposed to be shooting but instead talking to his friend. “Excuse me, there are several people waiting behind you. I was wondering if you might be able to pick up the pace a little … you know .. play a little faster?”
“Of course not! Golf is a game of patience! You’ll just have to wait!” came the reply from the son.
I tried to explain to the son that golf is not a game of patience, golf is about keep up with the pace of play. I pointed out that the expected play time per hole was on the scorecard and they were taking much longer than the expected time. The son looked very confused.
At this point the father came over and started repeating the “patience” line. That explained where the son got it from. I repeated my points about “pace of play” but it didn’t faze the father either. I then suggested that we pass by them a hole. That didn’t seem to be compatible with the patience bit.
After a bit of back and forth the argument heated up (how could it not) and finally the father insisted that we go ahead of them! Great!
I stepped up to the tee box with the father, son and friend less than 10 feet behind me glaring away. O boy! This is going to be a pressure shot! I took a deep breath and cranked out one of the best drives in my life! Yeahooo! Eat it patience boys!

You should play basketball – this isn’t game of patience for sure.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case(Christian Louboutin Pumps).

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Comment by buy contextual links — August 4, 2010 @ 4:42 am
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
