Read on and imagine me morphing into a big geek the further along I get.&quot;</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here's a nice top 10 list of features the Zune did right. I agree with most of this list, especially the screen, FM tuner, customizable interface, and Zune pass. Some of the items on the list, especially Wi-Fi, is a little questionable. Sure, it&rsquo;s a great idea, just not realized yet. If I could already sync wirelessly, sure, it would be right there on the list. One feature I found missing on the list that I would have included is Zune's durable finish. What are your favorite Zune features?</p>

The durable finish is definitely one of my favourite features - I don't feel like I have to "baby" the Zune much. Though I still like my Vaja case. :D

The finish is a nice aspect -- another small feature done right. Surprisingly, one of the things I regret, now that I've had some quality zune time, is not having gone with the brown model. Instead I got white, which is slick, but I wish now I had the official brand identity color.

Thanks for the link.

I like the finish too. The durability is the 2nd best feature of the Zune for me (1st being the screen). And hopefully I'll be enjoying a Vaja case soon too if I'm selected to win one from the constest *nudge, nudge* ;)

Well if it makes you feel any better, I have the brown Zune, and sometimes I wish that I had either the black or white Zune. They look much slicker to me. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side:cool:
