This post is for those who want to know how Microsoft's Zune - often tagged as THE iPod killer - stacks up against Apple's ubiquitous media player, in this case the 80GB model. Judging from the pictures, the Zune is just a bit longer than the iPod, and while the iPod is a bit thinner, the Zune is surprisingly lighter according to the reviewer (no exact figures on the weights though). In terms of screen size, the Zune has the edge with a bigger 3-inch screen. Check out the images below for a sneak peek.

» ! are you kidding?

zune is like 5 times thicker and doesnt have the touch wheel. that what separates ipod from everyone else. those two things make the ipod what it is, plus consumerism but DONT GIVE IN TO M$! theres a dollar sign instead of an S for a reason.

The iPod looks like Zune's B!tch.

Zune will probably take the cake on this deal.

and Matt, no hard feelings. iPod had a great run, now i am thinking it might have to step aside. MicroSoft is highly successful, why give them the extra $ sign? They dont need your extra $0.02

xbox 360 connectivity is great, Windows 2000, XP, and Vista supported.

Mac OSX supported as well. (As I am to believe) We wont leave ya in the dark :-p

(Microsoft wouldn't throw away monies like that.)

Zune doesnt need a touch wheel anyways. Zune = like 1/16ths of an inch thicker. lols

Sorry to disapoint you but Bill Gates owns lots of mac stocke because he saved them from going under before they came out with the iPod so mac doesnt hate Microsoft. They are just after more of a market edge.
