The Zune vs Ipod at a glance
The battle between the Zune and the iPod has raged on for two years now and the iPod is still king, but the Zune is no slouch either and is said to be making some ground with their new 3.0 software and 120GB Zune player. Here are the stats on both the Zune and iPod brands.
