The Microsoft Zune did not perform very well when released against the iPod. Most people think that this was due to the lack of content on the Zune Marketplace. While I do agree with that, and think that they should have developed the marketplace more before release, I also did not expect them to perform much better than they did, because of the grip/reputation the iPod has on the market. I think that Zune 2.0 and flash may be able to put a bigger scratch in apples winnings because the market place is developed, and the Zune flash seems to be pretty promising with video play back, wireless, and a (relatively) large screen.

Will the next generation of Zunes do any better than the last
