Microsoft - Zune (all models) —
My son got a Zune for his birthday last year, he researched it and picked a Zune over an IPOD! It charges on his computer and the battery life is awesome. He downloads songs on a Zune website from microsoft and then he can burn CD's, he has made me a few mixed CD's. He can also watch videos, and series on it as well. It has a big touch screen, which he finds very easy to use. His is actually a special edition "Gears of War" Zune. He earns an amount of microsoft points each month, then he can go to the website to purchase music, video, backgrounds, and more. He can also play games on his Zune, which his little brother loves! If his little brother is really nice to him, he will let him play games on his Zune! So it's also a great bargaining tool(lol). If you are a music lover, I really recommend that you buy a Zune, they are comparable in price to other music players, and you get so much more! I also think that they are a good size, not so small that they could be easily lost or stolen, but not so big that they will not fit in your pocket. The ear pieces are also comfortable in your ears and the sound is great!
