I have a creative zen touch as my first mp3 player and two ipods after that. I've owned the zen 80 for about 4 months now and it is by far the best mp3 player I have ever owned or tried. The interface is awesome, sound quality is great and it comes with the best headphones I've ever seen with an mp3 player. Very good price for what you get, very big screen, tons of space and a sleek look, what's not to love.

I've had my Zune for about 6 months now, and it is still just like new. I love everything about the device itself and mostly use it to watch movies. The only complaints I have are not about the Zune itself, but about the 'marketplace' (software it comeswith to download stuff). The marketplace has a large variety of songs, but a limited amount of movies (actually it doesn't have movies, just tv shows and music videos). As the 'videos' section just started, I'm guessing more shows will be added to it,but I can't be sure. The only other problem is that there aren't many accessories out there for the Zune (or at least in comparison to the Ipod). I'm hoping more will be created in the future. One specific thing I like about this Zune, are the headphones it comes with. I have pretty small ears, and the normal earbud headphones that come with many devices just fall out. These come with three different sized heads so you can choose the best fit.

I researched both the Zune and Ipod for a long timebefore finally deciding on the Zune. It ended up being that both devices had their own fans and were very comparable. In the end, the deciding factor towards the Zune was that I wanted to be original in my mp3 player (as many more people have ipods) and that I liked the interface better. Sorry if this review is too long, but the BOTTOM LINE is that I am very happy with my Zune, I get many compliments on it, and it works great!
