~ i like the large album art and the fact that it has only 3 buttons whereas my dell dj had 5 ~ i like the twist menu system as i don't have to drill down that much to view my content.
~ it plays WMA files
~ its much simpler than the vision:M


and lastly...it's not an iPod!

I am one who is looking to make the switch from iPod. I have been carefully reviewing most all of the plays-for-sure players for quite some time. I wanted the best mix in screen size, user interface, extra features, and capacity. Many months ago, I eventually settled on the Toshiba Gigabeat 60GB player. Then the rumors began to surface about a Microsoft mp3 player made by Toshiba. So, I put my Gigabeat plans on hold. While the popular press has been rough on the Zune, I think I am glad I waited for it. I do not own one yet; however, I absolutely love the user interface that is beautifully complimented by that huge screen! As soon as a 60+ Gb version is released, I am definitely in!

I'm a geek, so... It's hackable. It has enough power under the hood. Rockbox will be out soon. Great potential!

OTHER Things I like about Zune:

1. UI -- it's just gorgeous.
2. Zune Marketplace. Yes, I really like it for two reasons:
- great selection of music that is otherwise not available in other on-line stores
- subscription plan that iTunes does not have.
3. Wifi, even the way it's implemented now has definite value. I'd like to be able to explore what others are listening to and with subscription plan getting this music is a snap.

Everyone else is going on about the interface and I have to agree that it is excellent. I like that I can easily navigate and that I can read the text on the screen for navigation. I love the album art display. Pictures and video look awesome on the screen, too.
Battery life is excellent for my needs, too.
And I also have to say that the Zune "feels" good in the hand!

I was an early fan of the Zune. However, it debuted as an early adopter device. Still, I'd love to win this offer. I enjoy reading this site's RSS feed a lot. Thanks for all the hard work.

Three things really excite me about the Zune. The first is the wireless. I know people have issues with it right now but it's only going to get better! Besides seeing the way the Xbox 360 guys add new features with every update I'm sure the next release will let you do a lot more. The second thing I love about the Zune is the radio. Sometimes I just don't feel like listening to the same tunes again and again or I want to hear the news to find out what's going on. Can't do that without a radio. The third thing I love about the Zune is the interface. Whoever made this should give Apple some design lessons. It's fun, fast and as a photographer I love being able to customize the theme with my own pics! Keep on rocking Zune!

I like the screen. Nice to have such alarge screen on a device like this.

[jfattizzi]

There are a lot of things I like about the Zune, here are my top three:

1. I like the wide screen format. Great for movies
2. I like that it is from Microsoft and works with WMedia Player
3. I like the cool accessories that are already available

P.S. If I win, I like the fact that it was free.

A run-down on the Zune features that I like:

Screen
Bright, larger screen. The resolution is just the same as iPod's yet the way it was designed made it look big.

Wireless Features
The wireless features opens up potential features for this device like future:
over-the-air downloads of songs, videos and images and wireless updates through your wifi-capable PC's and laptops

Function and Interface
Wallpaper customization, Larger album art. Smooth transitions.

Some noted that Zune's click-wheel made accessing menu's easier and faster. since you can access the device even without looking because you can now anticipate how many clicks it would take to go from one menu to another.

Less-Scratchy
The Zune's coating is that of a matte finish which makes is less scratchy than other PMP players and that double-shot colors that impresses me most. It just stands out form the rest

FM Radio
Yey! An added bonus to an already great device.
