but let's face it, there is a reason this iPod knock-off is $99.

Yeah, because it's brown. They don't make brown anymore, so this is an obvious clearance offer. 30G zune normally cost $170-200 (Mine was $179). The 80g is going to be $250, just like ipod. It's not so much a knockoff, it's just that microsoft blew the marketing and such the first time around. It looks too much like an ipod, and the DRM on the song-sharing feature was gay, so they didn't sell as well. Feature for feature, the zune really holds its own. Now that they're pushing pricing and trying to market better I'm sure you'll start seeing a lot of them.

You're right, the itouch is bleeding edge, and is as comparable as it is viable. As for vanilla zune vs. ipod, there's little difference. Ipod is more prominent and accessible (more available accessories and toys) while the zune comes with more features.

As for why I'd get a new one: My girlfriend wants an mp3 player. I would like a larger HD, so I could fit the majority of my collection on there. Right now I can only fit around half.
