Detailed review
To be quite honest, the difference between and iPod Touch and a ZuneHD is that the ZuneHD's actual focus is the music. From the general browsing, to the point that the tied in Zune Pass + Wireless makes it easy to find new artists, not to mention pick up on ones that might not even be that large just yet.

The UI of the device is rather nice to be honest, a bit more bold than the iPod, but also with a bit more character with the automatic screensaver with scrolling text, plus each artist's information being only a few finger points away.

The device can be synced with your computer's library wirelessly, once you set it up, which makes it almost seemless once you get into the home, Just plug the device into a dock or sync cable attached to electricity, and the device with sync automatically after a small amount of time, or you can just sync via. Settings > Wireless > Sync with PC.

To be honest, Apple may have cornered this market early, but Zune is one of the many signs that Microsoft is getting their ship in order. Apple should watch out, because Redmond is coming for them and coming with quality.
