I'm very satisfied with it. 30 gigs, huge screen, built in radio. Even though the Zune isn't as sleek as the Ipod video, it over powers the Video immensely.
The screen is 2 times larger, and the funtionality is simple and not complicated to use at all.

I encourage people to switch out their Videos, and get a Zune. It's definitely worth the 250 USD.

I haven't found anything negative about the Zune, and hopefully will not find anything wrong with it.

Watch it start leaking battery acid and then Bill Gates will pop up on the screen and say "Ha ha ha" in a computer voice. And then it'll explode. And then we go on an escapade and find out that it was all Apple's plan to try and ruin Microsoft.

Well Apple and SOny are the ones with flawed batteries (Not as in Apple makes batteris but their Ipods leak or explode sometimes, Rarely).
I bought a white Zune and just like Suki Im loving it.

Maybe Apple just put Sony batteries in their iPods. They did in their laptops.

It happened before the Sony Deal way before.
Im talking from 2nd Gen Ipod forward. Its not a huge thing but I didnt like the Ipod a huge deal anyway.

Screen size is obviously different. Same resolution though.

All in all, I like it more than the I-pod, too. What colour did you get? I got the White one.

Horizontal or Verticle? Cause I can assure you it isnt.
Yay for the white one!

For my $250 I'd prefer wizpy (http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2006/11/turbolinux-wizpy-mp3-player-and-linux-to-boot.php).

What video codecs does it support? Do you have to re-encode video to work on the Zune.

Cons:
-Stupid name :lol:
-Supporting Microsoft
-The limit on the number of trades between Zune unit.
-Cost

I'm plenty satisfied with my SanSa thank you... only cost me a third of the price and hold just as many songs.

No video I know but heh... but I don't need 'em anyway!

I consider it when carrying videos around will be one of my priority.

No it isn't...The Zune's screen is 44% larger than the iPod's. Both screens display the same number of pixels, though.

I don't think my eyes would play tricks on me after constantly comparing the Video with the Zune.

Screen size is obviously different. Same resolution though.

All in all, I like it more than the I-pod, too. What colour did you get? I got the White one.
I got the black one, due to non-flashy ness.

It supports .WMA, the software automaticly does that for you.
