Microsoft’s Zune is out in the market.  So, can it match up to the iPod?

Below are the pros and cons in determining if the Zune is iPod-worthy.

Pros:

-Big screen that works in portrait or landscape 
-Built-in FM tuner
-Displays pictures and videos
-Share music wirelessly with other Zune users
-Transfer Xbox content to your Zune

Cons:

-Not compatible with Macs and Windows 98 / 2000
-Only 30GB is your storage capacity – no other options
-Dull color choices of black, brown, and white
-Does not support iTunes software
-Currently not compatible with Windows Vista although software updates will likely be available in the future

At $249.99 like the iPod, the reviews still point to the iPod as the superior product.  However, the larger screen and built-in FM tuner makes this Zune a potential force if improved upon.
