Looks much like an iPod touch clone.

Um, it doesn't look at all like an iPod touch, it looks like a slick Zune with a web browser   doodhuh;
I think it looks damn fine.
My sister might get one.

I'm not dissing it. Zunde HD is trying to catch up to the iPod touch.

That's the beauty of technology.

A great and successful product encourages competitors to innovate. Consumers win.

I'd still prefer the iPod touch though. This thing looks weird. akudood;

The OLED screen is nice.  However, I probably won't purchase one.

I think the only reason I would want an iPod touch over this is if I wanted apps, but none have excited me too much, and I find this thing to be much prettier.
I do agree though, Apple has certainly forced the other guys to start making more innovative products. thumbup;

I'll be picking one up eventually. I'll probably sell my old 80GB one for 125 or something.

kind of sucks for everyone else who tries to do on-screen keyboards since Apple already did it as well as it could be done and patented the shit out of it I'm sure

$290 for the 32GB, $220 for the 16GB.
Good battery life too.

I admit that the Zune 30s were like that, but the Zune 80 is quite nice.  baddood;

First one is ugly.
What's wrong with the second one? You should also look at the interface, because that's the main focus of the device, not the hardware. It's a very nice UI.

The last one is extremely pretty.

The second one looks almost exactly like the first one except the screen is a little wider and it removed the plastic border.  doodhuh;

The UI for the 80 doesn't seem that good either. doodhuh;

Actually it's not too bad now. 2.0 isn't too different from 3.0 (Although it's more functional), but it's a huge improvement over 1.0

I'm still very happy with my 80gb. I don't think that it's worth upgrading.
