Hi, I found this on a review site for you:

The thing that Microsoft seemed to focus on with the Zune was the wireless side. The standard iPod has no wireless functions at all, and the Zune has many, like syncing wirelessly to your pc, and zune to zune wireless transferring of music. Add in an FM tuner, and you have a much more versatile product overall.

Another upgrade worth mentioning is the customizable background. It may seem trivial, but people appreciate being able to customize their gadgets these days.

One slight downside for Zune is that there are no games, but most people will never notice really, since they'll probably prefer their PSP or Gameboy DS for that anyway.

Another is that the Zune is only PC compatible, while iPod works on PC or Mac. It might not be a huge deal now, but any business is good business, especially when it comes to stealing business from your competitor even if they don't hold a huge market share.

One more thing worth mentioning is that the screen size of the Zune is about 20% larger than the iPods at 3.2 inches, but the resolution is the same. Some people report that this can make the Zune look a little pixilated at times, since you're displaying the exact same image on a larger screen, similar to zooming in on a digital picture too far.

Get an iPod touch instead.

Not only do you have wireless with the 'touch, but huge screen, web browser, and all those scrumptious apps coming next month that you can get for it.

A true portable computer that you can use to play your videos, store your tunes and podcasts, and when you're near a wireless connection, browse the web in a no-compromise browser just like on your PC.

Not to mention wirelessly accessing the itunes store if you're near a hot-spot, etc.

The Zune and iPod classic are truly yesterdays technology, with the only thing going for them being the ability to store larger amounts of songs.
