I don't think the other "good features" have much to do with the hacks. I mentioned that the larger display and integrated FM radio with RDS were features I really liked.

I listed the hacks for people and assume only the real geeks will use them. I personally haven't used any of the hacks since I am pleased with the Zune without even adding this functionality at this time. How many iPod owners actually even use the hard drive capability on their device, or for that matter, even know it exists. I think the hacks and hidden features I listed are for the technically inclined and just add additional functionality at this time. Some of them should have been included by Microsoft and hopefully they will with software updates.

I recommend people listen to Leo on TWIT or MacBreak Weekly and listen to his enthusiasm regarding music subscription services and actually give them a try if they have a chance because that alone can be a compelling feature.
