I've owned 7 iterations of iPod's over the years. These new Zune features really make my Classic feel outdated =/

I just have so much home integration with iPod (docks, car setups) it makes trying something new such a pain.

Do know you offhand if Zune's play Apple Lossless? I know it will do WMA-9 Lossless but was curious if Apple's codec was supported as well. I wish either model would play FLAC. I have a Rockbox'ed iPod to play those files but a native player would be so welcome.

What is neat, is that I have the very first model of Zune and it now has all of the same functionality as the new ones via a software update.

I do not know anything about if it plays Apple Lossless.

That right there trumps Apple but I am so accustomed to iPods it will be hard to switch. Plus the iPod Touch just looks so sexy.

My old 30G iPod just died on me and I'm in the market for a new MP3 player. I didn't realize that Zunes could upgrade like that, I'll need to take that into consideration. But like Goddbless said....the iPod Touch just looks so damn nice *drools*

The only thing that turns me off from the iPod touch are two things...

Lack of storage ($399 for 32gb? c'mon)

$9.95 for "upgrading" to new features that the iPhone gets for free.

I agree the touchscreen is nice but for these reasons my most recent purchase was another classic over the touch even with prices not too different for the mid range models. Either way I think the Zune is directly competing with the nano & classic and I think is doing a pretty good job (at least spec wise) in doing so. The new nano's are pretty sexy though, my girlfriend wants to upgrade her 2nd gen to one of these. The 3rd gen models need to fade away and never be remembered lol.

LOL. Yeah, first gen Zunes are beastly. But I just have it sitting on my desk at work so I don't need anything special.

Aw man, that's a fun functionality. Too bad I'm using my iPhone as my PMP.
