Zune HD & iPod touch

So apparently Microsoft's Zune HD has been selling out everywhere. Amazon, Fry's, Best Buy — you name it. Chances are it's backordered. It's received good reviews and design-wise, MS finally nailed it, so I'm not too surprised it's selling out.

Personally, I'd spend my money on a 32GB iPod touch, but to be fair, I haven't played around with the Zune HD yet and I already have all my media on iTunes. Plus, I'm primarily on a Mac (Zune software doesn't do Macs) and until MS sorts out their app store, I like being able to choose from Apple's 70,000+ catalog. So for me, there's no point in getting a Zune HD. But if you're in the market for a new MP3 player and on the fence, here's a spec-by-spec comparison to see where the two media players stand. (Click on the pic for a larger view.) And here's a link to the deals we've listed on the Zune HD and iPod touch.
