I went to Best Buy today and got to play with a Droid, a Zune HD and an iPod Touch. I've come to the conclusion that Droid is surprisingly laggy for no good reason, yet feels good to type on (both keyboard and VK are much better than my G1) and the screen is nice. I still want something bigger and I stick by that. Very thin, perfect heft, IMHO.

He's reading to the kids right now. My 2 cents: The Zune is pretty and always fun to play with. It's zippy as hell and I like the fact that it'll work with my computer and Xbox. I'd get one, if I had the money to buy music & movies. The Droid was ugly, slow and that keyboard..ugh.

Yeah the Zune HD is extremely impressive! It's an absolute jewel. Too bad the screen is so tiny! Microsoft is rumored to be bringing a Zune-based smartphone to market soon. It will at least be very pretty. :D
- Adrian
Needless to say, the iPod Touch felt the most the most solid and polished by a mile. Run along little Android... but seriously I could not give up my G1 for any of the devices out now as it's too much fun to see it pick up new features every few weeks. I'll ride it out til October if I can. By then there should be much clearer successors.

The Zune HD screen is 3.3 inches. I think because we were looking at that Archos 5, it seemed exceptionally small sitting right next to it.

I watch movies and TV on my G1, which is 3.2 inches and it's just too small even though the quality of the video and audio is really nice. It needs to be BIGGER by at least an inch.

Your G1 doesn't do 720p like the Zune.
- Anika
That's only 720p output, not on the device's screen. Minor consideration for me, as I'm more than happy with Netflix on the Xbox for the big screen TV, I don't see myself hooking it up or docking it to the big guy. That's another thing... I want something that can do 720p on the device's screen! Then I'll be happy.

Oh! See, I missed that part. *duh*

Sure wish the next gen Droid was coming out soon :)

Me too! I really want something with a keyboard. I'm not willing to give that up unless the device is extraordinarily compelling in some other way. HTC seems to be pulling away from physical keyboards, but I think they'll always have some models with it. Motorola's got a real nice thing with the Droid it just needs to beef up a bit.
- Adrian
Oh, another thing about the Droid that I didn't think I'd like but did... the capacitive touch buttons. Much easier to work than the physical buttons on the G1, especially considering how often you gotta use the menu button in every application.
