1. please let me know how happy are you with the zune..
2. I'm in no rush to get one.. but another great selling point for the zune is that i can get one for $199 vs the Ipods $240.. so $50 cheaper, larger screen..
3. much nicer interface..
4. it just looks so fat.. is it easily pocketable (with jeans..)
5. the Ipod other then looking good just feels its age..
6. the interface feels like something from 2001 and not 2007..
7. please anyone that owns one let me know if your happy with it, whats your likes and dislikes..
..I guess I should also go and have a look and feel of it myself...

1. I am pleased, and have no regret... i wouldn't want any of the other devices out there over the Zune even still.
2. $$ was a selling point to me as well
3. Not sure if its a nicer interface, but it isn't confusing. Zune Marketplace (nessisary to put files on the Zune) isn't that good, but its not hard to use. I've not bought anything on it.... just transfered my own CD's to the Zune.
4. its the same size as the Ipod 30 gig
5. I guess... its just too small a screen for me.
6. yeah, the controls feel like SNES in a Xbox world (analogy)
7. You must have Media player 9 (or 10... whatever is the current one) which means you must also have a registered version of windows in order to put files on the Zune. that pissed me off, and is the single worst part of the Zune experience, but I got over it quickly
Its a great way to share photos with people w/out a physical print... its only tough to see in direct sunlight, but very good. you can play relatively good res videos through the zune, and even plug the av jack into a tv and watch.... and.... even load 720p video onto the Zune, and play it through t he xbox 360. you are limited to 1gb file sizes on teh zune through the "HD hack"
you can transfer any file from one zune to another as long as the file describer is labeled as a "jpeg"
I wish there was an easy way to organize the files myself through the folder structure I used.... instead, it used the file descriptors to organize the files... so old d/l mp3's aren't all 100% correct to each other... sometimes spelled wrong, sometimes missing information.
you can complete the information via Zune marketplace, but thats wayyyy more time consuming.
however, the folder structure exists for the photos you load.
thanks nthfinity!
