The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

For what its worth, the layout is certainly wonderful. You know how you can balance writing and images/videos. Even so, I cant get over how little you in fact bring to light here. I feel that everyones said the exact same factor that youve said over and over again. Dont you think its time for something much more?
