answer:Well, the nano certainly has those features, and the ipod has a larger online store in general. As fantastic a device the Zune is, it simply does not have as much leverage and approval as the Ipod. You can also (not all mp3 players can) watch TV, movies, play games, record voice logs (depending on the model) and all sorts of other cool stuff that most others cannot. Only drawback would be the price of apple products :/
