Agreed. Those things are needed to enhance the experience for all users, and I think the Zune team realizes that - but those things aren't "big bullet" marketing items, they're small refinements...which is why it's surprising that some of those refinements didn't squeak their way into the product this time around.

Yes, exactly right - we won't see an EQ in the hardware until the Zune team orders a DSP with hardware EQ support. Why they got the Wolfson DSP without EQ support is beyond me...
