I like the Zune. It's not the same thing that everyone else has, so that is one of the main draws for me.
1. The Zune software for the PC is sweeeet. I hate iTunes. I haven't used the iTunes store to buy music, but the fact that whatever I buy will only play on apple products turns me off. The Zune market place let's me download mp3s so I can play them wherever I want.
2. I like the Zune pass. I can 'rent' a whole bunch of music and then decide what I actually want to buy for my permanent collection.
3. You can buy an older version of Zune (they have them as cheap as 80 bucks lately) and 'upgrade' it to the latest version of the firmware.
4. It has an FM tuner built in. Perfect for the scenario I posted about.
5.

6. The sound quality of the Zune is better IMHO.
7. Wireless sync with my PC. I haven't used this yet, but it's nice to know that it's there. I can think of scenarios where this will be cool to have in the future.
8. I like the feel of the Zune better. Something just feels right with it.
The only downside is that there are so many products out there with iPod integration, but few with Zune integration. I can get a kit for my wife's car that will allow me to control an iPod from the buttons on the steering wheel. Lots of new cars come with iPod integration as an option. New aftermarket stereos have this option. Next thing you know my dishwasher will have ipod integration. There is very little offered for Zune integration outside of new Fords. I could handle a new Mustang that has Zune integration, but I decided to hold out for a new Camaro
Hopefully I'll have more choices by then.
Anyway, it looks like I'll be creating a custom console with my own Zune integration.
