I've got an iPhone 4, used for it's iPod and terrestrial radio stations via an app (I have both FM and AM streams saved to my favorites list) and an iPod classic (120 gig) for my car. I used to have a first gen Nano, but got tired of having to refresh the albums so upgraded to something that can handle my entire library. I'm too invested in Apple stuff to bother with a Zune, even though I've been told they are fine devices. I'm enamored with the Apple platform as much as I am the devices- I like the ease of finding and subscribing to podcasts, easy access to purchasing new media, and the wealth of third party accessories. My car stereo is designed to sync with iPods, and my alarm clock has a docking station for media access and recharging. I don't think I could get the same use from a Zune or Sandisk.
