It all depends on what you're looking for. The battery life for the Zune is much better then the iPods. I have them both. I prefer listening to the Zune when i'm going on trips and my iPod when i'm riding the bus or somethin. If you want all out easiness get a iPod. For most people the set-up for the zune is annoying and hassling. With iPod you just download iTunes, put your songs on there and then there you go.

Zune = Better battery life
iPod = easier and the organization is better.
