The *only* devices I use for music are the Zunes. The user interface and the software that comes with it are vastly superior to the iPod, iPhone, or any other media device out there. To discount the windows 7 phone (which is going to expand upon this basic Zune interface) is a mistake. The first version may not be a rampant success, but by version 2, Microsoft will have a juggernaut on their hands. It will be interesting to see if Apple/Android updates their interfaces from a sea of nearly indistinguishable icons, into something more relevant after this comes out. Either way, the consumer wins!
