And here I thought you were going to say, "they're finally getting some real competition because Zune 2.0 launched today!"

Too bad for Zeppelin, I already, um, downloaded all their songs (5 gigs!) years ago in a different manner...
LOL. Zune.
In fairness, though, Uncle Walt views this rev as a big improvement on the 'strike out' of the first rev. However, he concludes that the iPod Touch has raised the bar even higher:
(Your resident Apple fanboi )Microsoft has greatly improved the Zune hardware and software this time. But it seems to be competing with Apple's last efforts, not its newest ones.
I've never used a Touch, but I haven't had any issues with my iPhone. Battery life is great, the thing is solid, the software just works. Basically, everything you would expect and hope for in a do-everything device. And it's nice to only ever use one pocket for phone, media, etc.
Meanwhile, 20% of NYU students say they would give up their vote for an iPod Touch.
I love my iPhone, and I was skeptical at first. It seemed like a lot of money ($399 for an 8GB model, which is pretty much the only one they sell these days) and I didn't see how it could possibly be worth it. Especially since on a grad school salary, that represents about half of my take-home pay in a month.
Well, let me tell you -- it's worth it. Every penny. As billybreen says, it's everything you would expect or hope for. It's tough, too -- I've already dropped it once, sans a protective case, and it's been just fine. (I'll be investing in a case soon, believe me.)
ilounge isn't as high on the touch as the iphone. i suggest to research it further before getting a touch. iphone would be great if it had about 40 gb and gps.
