(Zune) 2 be or not 2 be

I want to get my hands on one of these, at least for a little while.  Everyone is saying it and I’m very much agreeing with it.  The Zune 2 is not going to kill the iPod.  I think it’s starting to get to a place where it can get more of the marketshare.  The controls are now pretty much a touch pad which Microsoft is calling a Squricle.  When I first heard that term, I thought it was something to do with the Zune’s Squirt feature, which has been improved.  The WiFi of the Zune 2 has been unleashed to ALMOST perfect.  You can now sync your Zune wirelessly with your computer and sharing music does not expire, except after 3 plays.  You still cannot purchase music over Wifi though. The Zune is helping out the music community by allow the sharing funtion. Hey, if after 3 plays you want to hear it more, then buy it.  With Amazon’s MP3 store, you don’t have to worry about DRM.  I wish I could get a review model so I can test it’s compatibility with iTunes.  That would be really interesting.  In the meantime, I’m keeping my iPod Classic 5th Gen and iPhone.
