Yes
Bigger screen
Radio
wi-fi
4 out of 6 people say Zune plays music better
Customizable backgrounds
better earbuds
better battery life
more durable
to name a few. iPod has unnecessary features. Stopwatch? Really? Address Book? and iPod has a lot of problems...take a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod#Criticisms
Go for the Zune....
Hope that helps...

NO, iPods have a few of advantages over the Zune. Firstly the songs purchased for the iPod has less restrictive Digital
Rights Management which means that songs can be played on up to 5 networked PC's or Macs. (songs from the Zune
Marketplace cannot be played on Macs) There is a lot of hype surrounding the built in WiFi on the Zune but this is only used to exchange songs between Zunes and songs received using Zune are restricted to be played three times or for three days.
Secondly, most of the after market accessories are for iPods, Most high end home and car stereos interface directly with iPods not Zunes.
Thirdly IPods have been around since 2001 and command 70% of the market. Zunes on the other hand have only been on the market a few months have have less than 8 percent market share. It's possible that Microsoft will discontinue the Zune within the near future.
Fourthly there iPods of different capacities from 1 GB to 80 GB so you can find one that meets your needs and your budget, with the Zune there is only one model 30 GB.
Fifth Apple's iTunes music store has the best selection, with almost two million songs for sale. Some Microsoft fanboys on Yahoo Answers promote the ability to rent music on the Zune Marketplace, offering music for rent in nothing new, both Napster and Rhapsody have been renting the entire catalog of songs but not too many have been using these are using the rental mode most users of these services are buying their songs outright.

The player its self is actually better, but the reason i got my ipod is because of all the features for it. So the zune is just a little better, but I'd still go with the ipod.

It varies on the place u stay and things if u r in a place and if u feel Fm a nessecisty u should go in for Zune
but Fm is ok not required then the IPOD wins
IPOD IS much better just not only for that they are famous
zune is equally famous and has sold many products
i personally like the IPOD
