Zune did everything much better, from Durability to the Marketplace. Microsoft, seeing where the iPhone has failed, would capatilize and do it better, as shown by the Zune. Seriously, the iPod and iPhones are peices of crap. On my old iPod, an eraser made a permanent mark on the surface, and my Zune got dropped into rocks, and it made a white spot, that I wiped off.</p> I do belive that a ZunePhone would be better than the iPhone, judging by the Zune vs. the iPod.

Don’t really care how many or how often others bash the Zune, I’m still using mine. No buyer remorse here.
