My reference was to the earlier discussion; I thought that was clear from my
use of the past tense. I apologize if I gave the impression that I was
talking about your messages--that was not my intent.

Vastly improved (and very slick) interfaces on the device and in the PC
software. Ability to stream music from Zune Marketplace directly to the
device via WiFi. WiFi synch to the desktop library. Many features (Mix View,
Channels, Picks, and "Like-minded Listeners") to help you discover new music
by various means of analyzing what you are listening to or already like--far
superior to Apple's Genius. Ability to identify and purchase tunes heard on
the FM. Audio book support. New games (although gaming is not a core
feature) including a very nice multiplayer version of Texas Hold 'Em.

Particularly nice is that these upgrades worked on -all- Zune owners, even
those who purchased the first model. No need to buy new hardware every year
as with certain other companies.
