I've been told by friend it's better and read favourable magazine review. It has WiFi which is an advantage too. However, with it being a microsoft product I'm not touching it with a 50ft pole, they have too much power already. Besides I like my Creative Zen too much. The Zen beats iPod in most respects.

Zune is a POS. That is a FACT.

I use it because I need it to stream music from my computer to my Xbox.

Windows Media Player isn't letting it do it, for some reason.

Creative is the same company that makes sound cards, right?

This model has just 30, but I think they're about to release a 60 model.

Yeah, the Zen Vision: M. It's pretty good but sometimes the software on it is a little rough around the edges.
