Wireless media sharing: Share full length tracks of your favorite songs, albums, playlists, pictures and even audio podcasts. When sharing, you can listen to the full track of any song you receive up to three times and even pass along songs shared with you to other friends. If you like a song, easily add it to your wishlist on your Zune and buy it later when you sync to your PC.

Zune Online Community: Create a Zune card and Zune profile page to reflect your musical identity. Invite friends, share song recommendations, post comments, and browse member pages to discover new music and connect to other people with similar musical tastes.

Premium earphones: Included with the Zune 80GB are earphones with superior sound and bass response. Designed to block out external noise, they leave your ears with nothing but music to enjoy.

Zune Marketplace: With over 3 million songs, DRM-free MP3s, music videos, audio/video podcasts and more; your store is always open and just a mouse click away. Buy individual songs and albums or a Zune Pass subscription with complete access to discover and explore.

FM radio tuner: With the built-in FM tuner you can listen to local FM radio stations or tune into programming while you're out. Advanced tuning capabilities allow you to see the name of the song currently playing on select frequencies.

Import your music: Zune software can automatically import your existing music, pictures and videos from iTunes and Windows Media Player in a variety of formats, including your existing playlists and song ratings. Some content is protected by the service you purchased it from and the Zune can’t import those files.

Games your way: Plug your Zune into your Xbox 360 to customize the soundtrack in supported games. You can also stream the music, picture and videos from the Zune software on your PC to your Xbox 360 console using a wireless connection.

If i had onlyOne Pocket, i would carry a Zune in it
Reviewer: technocr from Erie Pa on Jul 17, 2008

Zune beats I anything as far as i am concerned for all the above stated reasons and ones like the ZKick 500 made by PYLE its an awesome speaker doc or the just as mighty altec 604 pure simple power and audio with small remotes that handily go anywhere youwant it. ZUNE is gaining a following they are out of infancy and they are definately crawling into the drivers seat of the hot and getting hotter MP Player market.

Looking in the Rearview at IPOD
Reviewer: DDev from The Shore, NJ on Jul 6, 2008
11 out of 12 found this review helpful

Just bought the 80GB Zune and it is awesome. Compared it to the 80GB IPOD in the store and there really was no comparison. Zune hands down was my choice! A bigger viewing screen, better sound quality from the headphones, wireless sharing and FM radio all come ready to go. IPOD had none of this out of the box. Music, pictures and video were all easy to get a grip on for me. Got it home and was copying songs in a very short time. There is a software update and soon as I hooked up my Zune it auto updated for me and I was set. I'm a Novice and it was as easy as you can get to start syncing (copying) music to my Zune.
All the floor space is dedicated to IPOD in every store I looked at. I think that is why everyone has the IPOD. Zune gets it's advertising up to par and gets more floor space I think IPOD will have a hard time convincing people to pay the same price ($249) for the 80GB IPOD and receive a lesser product as mentioned above.
