I loved my original Zune. Unfortunately the battery went down to 1-2 hours play time after constant use for not even a year.
I would buy a Zune HD if I could find one cheap enough because of the HD radio, audio quality and hdmi output. I'm sure Apple will eventually have a better IPod on the market but what they really need is Zune Pass - the legal way to listen to all the music you ever wanted to.
It's just that simple.
