I think this is pretty much the icing on the cake. There is no longer any major features that the iPod has that the Zune doesnt, and the Zune is getting several (more) features that the competing iPod can never get, due to the lack of hardware.

Well I was using my friend's Zune and I just didn't like it. Just my personal preference really.

Zunes are really ugly and I really like using iTunes so I'll be sticking with an iPod.

Fair enough. The interface takes some getting used to (not in a bad way though, its just not identical to the iPod, which most people are used to)

You do realize that theres nothing new there, right? I mean, the Zune has wifi streaming for Zune Pass subscribers, FM Radio tagging, so you can tag a song to download later, a mobile marketplace, etc.

The new iPods offer nothing comparable to that.
