BBspot's iPod vs. Zune showdown: "Now that's what I call planning"

Forget all the spec comparisons, VP interviews and rumor mongering that the internets have been obsessively producing since we all first learned about Microsoft's truly groundbreaking foray into the DAP market. BBspot has cut through the red tape and endless speculation, pitting the Zune against the market-leading iPod in an end-all showdown. They compare all the hard-hitting features that everyone else has so far missed, such as Domain Names, Curative Properties and whether it would hurt if Chuck Norris rammed each player through one's spine with his fist of fury. It's a true grudge match the likes we have never seen - and as with all matches of this caliber, only one player can emerge alive.

You've seen the rest of the iPod and Zune reviews and comparisons - now go read the best to see which player wins BBspot's Technical Award of Excellence.
