The iPod:
There are 3 kinds of iPods:
1. The fifth generation, the iPod
2. The second generation, the iPod nano
3. Also the second generation, the iPod shuffle.
The iPod is a portable media player manufactured by apple computers these started selling in 2001. A center click wheel controls the regular and nano versions of iPods. The iPod shuffle is screen-less. Apple's program "iTunes" is used to import music on to all 3 versions of the iPods. There is also an iTunes Music Store. At the store you can by songs starting at .99 cents, and videos starting at $1.99. The regular iPod usually comes in 30 gigabite (7500 songs). The iPod nano usually comes in 2 GB (500 songs) or 4 GB (1000 songs). The iPod shuffle usually comes in 1 GB (250 songs).
The Zune:
Zune is Microsoft's version of a Portable Media Player (MP3 player). This device released to the U.S was a 30 GB model selling for $249.99 on November 14, 2006. A key difference between Zune and other competitor MP3 players is Zune offers Wi-Fi. With this you can share songs, playlists, and pictures with other Zunes. Audio files transferred from one Zune to another can be played up to 3 days or three plays, whichever comes first, after which it expires unless purchased or downloaded at the Zune Marketplace online. Recipients cannot re-send audio files that they have received via the sharing feature. The Zune can also be connected to an Xbox 360 giving users the ability to stream music, videos and photos to Xbox 360 via a home network.
Which one is better?
Well if you want one with more features you want to get the iPod. If you want a bigger screen you need to get the Zune. If you are not a big music lover but you like movies and TV get an iPod video, which is either an iPod or an iPod nano. I you love to share music with your friends get a Zune. Depending on what you really want to do make what kind of MP3 player you want to get vary.

I don't know about most people, but from an Apple user perspective, the Ipod does the job. I'm just hoping that the Zune will help to add some competition and drive the prices a bit lower.
I liked it but for the Zune you gave a lot of information and for the Ipod you gave a little bit of information.

I would choose an ipod any day because the Nano is just like a PSP.
You can download games, music, and pictures.
But ipods are more for music people and the PSP is more for a gamer like me.
