Right now I have a 4 GB Zen micro, but I've filled it up and I have a lot more songs, plus I like the idea of watching vids, so I think I am going to eBay my Zen and upgrade to either a Zune or 30 GB iPod. I like the Zune, but I have heard that the screen is bigger, but its the same res so it is not as good quality. But I've also heard that the internal battery of the iPods goes bad after a year or so and have to pay Apple $100 to replace the battery. Also, there is the question of the software. Does Zune Marketplace have any videos? If not, what's the point? I've never used iTunes, does it offer good podcasts? Which one would be better? Mainly worried about the issues above. Thanks!

Those of you who say iPod, hows the battery holding up?

If the iPod is under warranty, will Apple replace my battery for free? I am leaning toward the iPod for the videos on iTunes and because so many people have them, so universal accesories are cool. But I'm pretty worried about the battery. What about after warranty? Am I correct about the $100?

Personally, I prefer iPod, but if you are used to Zune, just stick with that. They are both good products. It just comes down to personal preference. Good luck...

i have a zune and i love it. the screen does have same res as ipod but you cant tell when your watching movies or anything. and the zune marketplace doesnt have vids yet but i called and asked and they said that they would have them soon. the zunes battery lasts along time.

ipods are expensive, and the battery will wear out after a while. it also does not have radio (i don't know if the zune does). i would do some pro con lists if i were you. go to the official sites and research them.

IPOOD for sure. The zune sucks. Dont waste your money like i did. And if you are in it for videos then itunes will blow your socks off!!
