Thanks for all the information. On a aspect be aware, how do you deal with all the spam you get in your weblog?

I get so drained preventing spam that I feed I must stop operating a weblog entirely.

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.

Some really excellent content on this site, thanks for contribution.
