I'm not running out to buy any of them, my imported 30GB Zune seems to do it's job very well and I like the new 3.0 features such as having Hexic to play on the go.

However, if the 120GB Zune was available here in the UK I probably would run out and buy one, so long as it's not rediculously overpriced like a lot of stuff in the UK.

MS need to pull their finger out and release the player in Europe. I mean, do you seriously expect to compete with the ipod if you are only selling your device in the US and Canada?

I would more than likely own an archos. But work gave me a 60GB Ipod video classic and I cant see spending my own money when it works fine. I dont tend to prefer apple products but free is free. ;)

I'd buy a 120GB Zune if it was available in Norway with a Zune Pass... ;) Please Keith; tell them that I want a Zune over here in cold Norway. :)

Yes. Until the team on the Zune stops playing catch up and truly starts innovating the iPod and iPhone will continue to control their respective markets.

Somehow I don't think many people are buying the iPod Touch because it's cool and their friends have one. The Nano or Shuffle maybe, but the Touch?

Why does having to use iTunes become an issue? You can still create your own audio and video rips. Nothing says you HAVE to purchase from Apple.

people don't buy the ipod because of it's features, they get because it's cool and their friends have one.

also in Australia I see iPhone/iPod adds all over the place, bus stops, tv, etc etc. Zune? unless you go ask for it in a shop you wouldn't even now its for sale.

I'd actually be curious to see in a survey how many people know what a zune is.

wierdly the only thing that stops me having an iPod is that goddam aweful iTunes. :-(

The target for the ipod/zune just want to play music and videos, not try and understand the technology, and definitly not get into a feature comparison.
