|  Zune2 or Ipod Classic?
Im caught up between getting a Zune 2 (80gig) or an iPod Classic (80gig). I really like the Zune 2 but the iPod is the original and most reliable. Just came here for some opinions.  Btw, I know the Zune 2 versus iPod discussions get bias, lets try to stay away from that.

I'm an MS/Windows fan....I like Zune.
Always feel like letting you know where I stand 
spec and interface wise, it's much better than ipod and does not have the tag of pompous with it, so take that as you will  Zune Arts | |

There both not bad but I would probably go with the Ipod there is alot more out there for the ipods. Like docking stations for you car, computer, external speakers. Only reason I Went with an Ipod is it was plug and play for my stereo. I did have a 1st gen Zune and liked it just not alot out there for zunes.

the longevity with hardware seems very long with me, that goes for everything. I just treat things gentle, maybe more so than most. I believe it's very durable, but I am not one who likes to manhandle things, even if they are durable.
they have some addons for zune, not as many as it's competition but some Live Search: zune accessories | |

I'm not too sure on the equalizer thing, maybe if more users clamour for it, they'll add it back in soon.
I think it's an oversight, but not too sure. latest firmware was released about 3 days ago.
oh and if you want to mess with it, you can get "ebooks to images" and put some ebooks on your zune | |
