All you need to decide is if you want a tiny do-it-all device for email, web browsing, photo viewing, video, music, games, apps. OR if you just want a music player.

The Ipod Touch is not that expensive if you use it to all of its ability. Since owning mine i use spend alot less time on my laptop, preferring to email and check web news with the ipod.
pretty sure they go up to 32GB now .

I dont know much about the Zune other than it has an even more ridiculous name than the ipod… and they made it brown.

yes, but i could only afford the 16GB :P anyways, i say it is expensive because it costs more then the zune, and has WAY less memory.
and i probably would not use ALL of the ipod touch's ability, but viewing pics, watching movies, and all that, i would like.

well, I bought the iPod because it is a superb Internet device(minus flash support) and because my favourite music at 320kbs weighs in around 10gb. I own more music but I don't really listen to it often.

I still use a cd Walkman on occassion however, I wouldn't of even considered the iPod if it didn't have Internet access.

iPodTouch for the internet and Youtube. Also for some games and the ability to homebrew it, despite very little good apps for it.

Zune if you want an all purpose media player without the internet capabilities, such as videos music and pics.

I never leave home without my iPod touch. Like Accordion said if you want an internet device the touch is far better.

The Zune has better battery life (30 hrs Vs 22) while playing music and the Zune supports DivX and Xvid videos while the ipod does not.
