Well, if the current models have anything to say about it, the Zune will be much, much better.

Hardware wise and potential wise I think the Zune will be better. But Microsoft has a reputation for limiting the abilities of their hardware with their software.

iPod's are just better in general.

I owned a Zune and I ended up selling it back to the store I got it from.

The original Zune has had a thriving app community since 2006, so what to say Microsoft won't implement one?

Wow? Really? Are we going to get on about sales over quality now? If you really want to do that, go to system wars :| (Jk,Jk)

Ive owned an Ipod and Zune. Im not gonna say the I-pod was bad, but my Zune was much better.

Itouch is an amazing product, no doubt. But Zune's products always improve over apple's and I think if anyone can challenge Apple's app system..It's zune.

...With that being said..............I really could care less about apps.

Odd..my old ipod's have been a pain in the ass for me. My zune is very durable, I dont even have a cover on it. ive dropped it a million times.

I agree the Itouch was a huge improvement over the old Ipods, but so are the new zune products. The Zune HD when it comes out will deff. be as good or even better than the touch (I think so). Ever since the first gen Zune, they have been getting better and better.

I don;t know why MS just won't just include WM 6.5 Marketplace with Zune and whole XBLA, segmenting their apps choice between two stores and not allowing devices to access them both is just silly.

And...why no love for new Walkman?:(

you had good luck with ipods them. I don't own Zune and never did, so I can't speak for it, but Apple ipod/iphone line is one of the least resistant hardware on the market, they're all delicate and extremely easy to brake compared to competition.

I have no doubt the Zune touch will be better other than possibly the app store which is very impressive on the iPod/iPhone touch.

Although after my 120GB Zune that just broke, I'm considering not buying a Zune again, M$ seriously has the WORST repair service I've ever encountered.

Ipod touch for it's applications and the Zune touch for music playback.

xxxAdvocatexxx

No the Zune HD is for HD Video, music playback and xbox intergration.

Duh. I was comparing each player's strong side. Video playback may be strong on the player, but you always get better playback on computer screen, t.v screens, etc. The main focus of portable players is music. If that's a weak side of the player, then it's ultimate purpose is defeated. Since the zune has better music playback than the touch, it wins as a device for playing music. Since the touch is renown for it's application support, it wins as a multimedia device(in terms of variety). But we don't know the quality of video for the zune hd yet so we cannot compare those to aspects yet.
