than most anticipated. I like the controls and larger screen myself. I use webcasts as one of many means of learning on the fly and the Zune is perfect for this. Also, the iPod wheel just does not work well for me and I suspect other people. I work in IT but am outside working most of my time off the job in a northern climate. I also play guitar. My fingers are calloused and cracked and rough most of the time. The ipod wheel, which lacks a solid level of sensitivity to begin with, does not work well for all but the most silken fingertips. The Zune's controls are much more, well, controllable and that's a big plus.The ipod has peaked in sales and the "coolness" factor seems to be fading rapidly. I think the Zune will do exceptionally well and future versions will surely bring more great technology. As for size, have you seen the new horizontal iPods with the same capacity? They are pretty much the same size. Perhaps they still have a thinner profile but the gap is really inconsequential.
