The current 4/8 gig units cannot hold a candle to the equivalent ipods. However, the 80/120 gig units in screen size and dpi, format handling, DRM issues, fm signal, etc. blows away the ipod "classic." Now, if MS can only do something to improve Zune Marketplace.

tavarua20 writes: "I always love when an innovative idea to save time is implemented into my life. Im-ing your food order is one of those innovations that will now make my life easier as a Boston College student. I was watching the news last night, and they flashed a quick expose on IMdining on NBC. Apparently, this company has developed a program that links IM-er's to Boston area restaurants. I tired it today. You IM the restaurant and in a matter of minutes you order is accurately placed, you are never put on hold. I wish I new about IMdining before exams it could have saved me at least a half hour on my late night food runs. If you are interested in adding them to your buddy list visit IM Dining. add them to your buddy list and you are set up to order. I cannot wait until this company can implement its product into my hometown's restaurants and local lunch hot spots."
