I think the Microsoft Zune is pretty nice compared to an iPod. Radio, Wifi Trading/syncing. 8/3/80 gigs storage, should be more than enough depending on what you want on it videos/pictures/music. The size difference isnt that much but the feel is a bit different the Zune kinda feels smooth, and instead of a Steel back which gets really smudgy/scratched It has a smooth plastic feel as well on the sides front etc. And instead of a scroll wheel it’s a click but depending on what model you have. And the new model the 80 gig has the touch wheel but only for going up and down i believe instead of using it for accessing the menus etc. The Zune is nice if you enjoy the radio plus the music, video pictures, transferring songs with friends that have a zune but for only 3 plays/days =/ I still love my iPhone compared to the Zune though since it has pretty much all that but no radio. But internet to make up for it/cool apps/etc. But the Zune is very nice especially with the Software updates.
