So after a couple months with my Samsung YP-P3, I'm disappointed in the overall interface of the Samsung (the sound is great). The GUI is generally not greatly responsive, and has delays at times (I'm spoiled by my iPhone) and it seems like Samsung has pretty much stopped firmware support for it (really few and delayed). I'm moving on and looking for another flash-based media player, preferably in the ~32GB zone (or anything under $300) and the iPod Touch and the Zune HD are pretty much on top of my list. I've never owned an iPod (
) or a Zune (
), having had several Samsung and Sansa DAPs. I want a web browser/wifi support, since my Samsung will function as my main music player (it does sound very good, an A-B with a Cowon S9 was very similar). So that pretty much means the Touch and the Zune HD. They're both very similarly priced. FYI, I actually bought an iPhone, but returned it due to overheating problems, and I may get another iPhone in a month or two.
On another note, I heard that iPods don't sound great, so I don't know if that's just a rumor, or not. Also, which has a better interface in terms of performance/looks - the iPod Touch or the Zune HD? I know the iPod has a much vaster app store than the Zune, but if the Zune is overall a better player in terms of everything but apps...
My music collection is primarily high-bitrate Mp3 (320 kbps) and FLAC. I'll be using my SE530 and a JH13 (very soon) with the player, unamped (portability issue).
