My newest one is this 8GB Zune. I got my Zune about a week ago, after getting rid of my 3G 8GB Nano, that I was not happy with. So this is why I'm more satisfied with the Zune vs. the Nano...<br /><br />Hardware<br />-Shape is easier to hold and use than WS Nano <br />-LCD is glass, more durable and sharper than plastic on Nano<br />-Zune Touch Pad is more responsive and precise vs. click wheel<br />-Wireless sharing/syncing option<br />-Built-in FM Tuner<br />-Better sound quality even without EQ...I just hated how bad the Nano sounds even with Shure headphones<br /><br /><br />Software <br />-Very simple and easy<br />-Asthetically better than iTunes<br /><br />User Interface<br />-No Coverflow but interface is more organized and intuitive <br />-Customizable background, not an option on Nano<br />-Easier to read <br /><br />I have not tested the battery life but it's rated close to the Nano so I'll live with whatever it really is. One thing I haven't checked on but someone else wrote about was the Zune not being a UMS Device when plugged in. Hopefully that's something Microsoft can/will change so that you can store other files on it. Overall, I'm must more satisfied with this player than the Nano.<br /><br /><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap-zune-mp3-player-20/detail/B000WFZSBE/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Zune 8 GB Digital Media Player 2nd Generation Black Low Price</span></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5482072158282028866-4907409042073504031?l=zune-mp3-player-review.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TrueBughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04907809910952842648noreply@blogger.com0
