Default Zune Features

I saw one of these at the local Best Buy and really liked the look and feel.

I have narrowed it down to the new Zune and Vision M 60GB.

Does the Zune have these features

USB Host - So I could put pictures off my digital camera?
Recording - Does it have a microphone to use for voice recording?
Audible Support - The last I heard the answer was no, but maybe they adding features
quickly.

Jason, I believe you have a Vision M and now the Zune can you give me your impression between the two.

Thanks

1) No USB host. The Zen Vision doesn't either - you'd have to get the Gigabeat S to go that route (talking to your camera)

2) No microphone. The Zen Vision has it beat there.

3) I have no clue about Audible support on either the Zune or the Zen...I don't use Audible at all.

My first impressions being an owner of both? The Zune has more potential, but right now, the Zen does more of what I want. But I don't want to reveal my review conclusion too soon.

Thanks for the feedback.

The new 60GB Vision M does have all the features.

But, I am hopeful that Microsoft will add features at fast rate thru firmware updates.

Going to try and wait until Christmas before making my decision.
