Zune has a lot to live up to.
Apple and Creative have had a long time to work on their players to get them right. And let's face it, they're still not perfect.
Microsoft is going to have to get practically everything right first time in order to get any kind of decent market penetration. We all know how Microsoft are at getting it right first time. As the old saying goes, never touch a Microsoft product until it hits version 3. 
Ideally they need to make Zune as open as possible. By having the widest possible codec bit-rate and resolution support they'll be opening their doors to practically all types of user.
Line-in and FM Radio will drag a number of people in too. Oh yeah, and USB On-The-Go for people to upload pics from their digital camera's would be great.
Fingers crossed though. I hope it does well. I like the look of Pocket Media Center. I really wanted a Gigabeat S (which Zune looks a lot like, apart from the different shaped controller) but they never made it to the UK.
