IMO, with XviD support (converting files to MP4 or WMV is just frankly retarded), the Zune HD is the premium player on the market. I have an iPod Touch and got to review the Zune HD, and the sound was better, the screen was nicer, I preferred the Zune desktop software and felt the interface was nicer, even than the Touch with 3.1.

There was a severe lack of apps, and the HD radio did not work for me, but definitely not a deal breaker especially if you are looking for a media device. It is better at movie and music playback. There used to be a point where that meant something.

Sweet, i usually convert my own videos. So now allmost all vids will be on my Zune.

Who cares?

Does it really matter if it has apps or not? I mean really, its a media device, if it plays music and video and does it well then then that should account for more than how many pointless fart apps you can load onto it. I think this fascination with apps has gotten a little out of hand. If you want endless hours of mind numbing time wasters, get an iTouch, if you want endless hours of great sounding music and high def video, get a ZuneHD
