Zune vs iPod
A couple things come to mind based on your blog, first and foremost is built in WiFi.. How realistic is it to have, and how much battery power is it going to chew up?

Kind of reminds me of PDA's and WiFi and how it just destroys the battery.

All reasonable concerns I would think...

I'm a recent iPod owner myself and I didn't buy it for iTunes although I am growing quite accustomed to it and prefer that over WMP (of which I have used for years). I even had my entire collection in WMA format because I didn't want the extra application to convert to MP3.

So far I have been impressed by iTunes and my iPod. I have not a single complaint yet.

Now to my second point, so Zune comes with these built in features? What about price?

I definitely won't go to Zune when it comes out because not only does the iPod have hundreds if not thousands of accessories (some of which I'm looking to purchase), it's a great looking, and easy to use product.

Zune has a lot to beat.
