I don't think Zune will catch on anytime soon, iPod just looks better in design and quality...

No ipod for me until they have native wma support.
Zune is the number 2 portable music player. Although that's not saying much when many times more ipods are sold.

the fact that generic term for an mp3 player now is ipod dosent help zune either. i used to work at best buy and most people who came in asked for an ipod even if they just wanted a cheap mp3 player, when I corrected them and said "you mean an mp3 player" they didnt know what an mp3 player was...

I thought the iPod could read WMA, just not protected WMA, unless that is what you are after.

I noticed they're advertising non-gaming products like the Zune on the 360 dash now. Seems they're desperately trying to sell Zunes by branding them with the Halo 3 logo or something, pretty cheesy. One of the dash blades has two ad spaces, the UI's looking more like a tacky colourful webpage than ever before.
