On my trip to the South last month, Antibes was my final day trip. A thirty minute train ride along the coast from Nice, Antibes is a relaxed beach town that was originally discovered by the Greeks around the same time as Nice. Today, the town is a relaxed, family-friendly answer to the more hectic Nice and more glitzy Cannes. The town has become a haven for Australians and Kiwis both – and I caught a few of their distinct accents floating above me on rooftop terraces as I wandered the street labyrinth below.
Before the Grimaldi family moved on the bigger, better pieces of real estate, they lived in a mini-palace by the sea. Today, the home is a Picasso Museum. Picasso, who lived in Antibes for some time, left the city a large collection of his paintings in thanks of the inspiration the town had given him. It’s easy to understand, once you’ve stood on the balcony of the Grimaldi home watching the deep blue water wave as the Alps stand at a distance and the ancient city sprawls out inbetween what must have stirred the artist. Once you’ve seen this place, you won’t easily forget it.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
We stumbled over here by a different web address and thought I might check things out. I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward to looking at your web page repeatedly.
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.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
