I'm not laughing, Mike. I believe the Zune has some potential, especially considering it's *half the price* of the the iPhone. It may even be a third of the price by the time the iPhone is actually shipped. So considering the price point, the Zune packs somewhat of a punch over its competitors.
That said, I have to admit that the actual device you can compare the sub-$250 Zune to -- that is, the iPod Video -- is currently a *much* better device, simply due to the software, especially in regards to iTunes Music Player. Next generations of the Zune may have better software and better integration with computer systems, but the iPod still "rules the roost", IMHO. The comparison should be with the existing crop of smartphones...
