I am really excited! It looks badass in metallic, and even better in black. It also looks way smaller than the iPod Touch. The thing I like best is that it ports directly to HD and has a built in HD RADIO! iPod does NOT. The only thing that throws me back is the 480X270 resolution, just over half that of the iPod Touch. But it is also much more pocket-friendly, being also half the size. So I guess that balances it out. It is supposedly going to be released on September 5. I'm definitely buying one of these.
A problem I see though, is how difficult it might be to tap the right things? I mean the iPod has nice large icons, they're pretty much the same size as your finger tip even. The Zune however has those lines of text, and it just seems to me like it might not register correctly or something.
It still looks really nice though, like I said before. I might even go as far as to say the design is better than the iPod, hopefully the back is made out of a material that doesn't get scratched all to hell. That's a major draw back to the iPods. At least for me. Radio on this would also be nice, but I think that other wise the iPod still beats it.

Yeah, I thought it would be harder to use because of the small scree, but it actually works pretty slick. The buttons and such are larger than in the current-gen Zunes.
