As far as an inferior product? The iPod Classic takes the cake on that- what with the sound quality (or lack thereof) and the same old shoddy Apply iPod construction. Yes, the face plate might not scratch up like the iPods of the last generations, but your a fool to not thing that the screen will. That being said, the Zune wins that department with it's larger *glass* screen (which I would assume is tempered) that *won't* scratch or "fog" up.

For the same price, the Zune 80 is the better buy, by a longshot. If you want, I can go over it for you. Equal storage, better UI, better controls, better sound quality (if its similar to the old, which I would assume it would be), better construction, larger glass scratch-resistant screen, wifi song/picture sharing, and wireless syncing- lets not forget the better software, and the FM radio AND station identification, which would be a 50 dollar add on for any iPod, and probably doesn't have SI.

Ok. I'll bite. comparisons are generally useless... but i have to disagree with what you said.

Let's see:
"Equal storage" - fair enough, all though it would have been smart if Microsoft made a 160GB model as well.
"better UI" - VERY dependent on the end user. You can't claim that.
"better controls" - again, very dependent on whoever is using it. There is nothing wrong with the iPod controls. Also, whats the point of the redundant d-pad under the touch interface?
"better sound quality (if its similar to the old, which I would assume it would be)" - Maybe if you were listening to lossless music and using expensive headphones this would matter... 128 kbps? not so much.
"better construction" - can't really comment on this seeing as the Zune is only on sale in select countries and I have yet to see one never mind touch it. As far as my iPod goes, I find no fault in its quality. at all.
"larger glass scratch-resistant screen" - I agree, fact that it is glass, VERY nice. pity that they did not take advantage of the larger real estate to add some more resolution.
"wifi song/picture sharing" - hmmm. Even if my iPod had this functionality, to share songs, I would have maybe tried it once to see how it works. Honestly, I know a fair bit of people with iPods, but rarely have I met a friend and we both had our iPods on us and wished we could share some music. There are far easier, albeit illegal, methods to do this.
"wireless syncing" - I would use this feature a lot, very nice.
"lets not forget the better software" - From what I hear, I would rather forget it, thanks. Besides, said software only works on Windows, which is not the only OS in the world.
"FM radio" - I don't get why people want this at all? Huh? You are probably carrying around thousands of songs of your own choosing and yet you want to listen to the radio? If you really need to... you can pick up a stand alone fm radio for dirt cheap at any gadget/gift shop, plus it would be lighter to wear than a HDD player. So odd.

Blegh, anyway I don't really care much for the Zune, just wanted to highlight the fact that your opinion isn't fact. If I had the money to buy a new 80GB player now, I would only have one real choice anyway, until Microsoft released some software for Macintosh. It just doesn't offer any deal breakers, besides what you claim.

Now get over it. If you think the Zune is better, that's just peachy. Enjoy it. But don't claim your fanboy facts.]]>Nov 14th 2007 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/Nov 14th 2007 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/Nov 14th 2007 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/Nov 14th 2007 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/Screen size is smaller, sound quality is worse than the Zune, and the interface on Zune is much better.

Seriously, seems like either the demand is very high, or there is just some mess with suppliers.

I would really like to see the number of units getting sold...

P.S. I am thinking of getting Zune, but this shifts in priorities for a month or two... :(]]>Nov 14th 2007 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/Nov 15th 2007 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/Nov 14th 2007 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/Nov 14th 2007 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/zune-80-not-available-in-stores/
