Zune has better video quality and a larger screen than the iPod. However, the Zune becomes increasingly annoying when downloading and syncing music. When you download music from the Zune site, you dont purchase it, you only "rent" it in a sense. You pay a monthly bill, and if your bill isnt payed, the music expires. Coming from an owner of a Zune and iPod, I would stick with the video iPod.
