Neither.

I have the Nano. As a simple Mp3 its OK, but overpriced. But I cannot say its its the greatest. I don't like the Wheel, it only works via itunes, no WIFI, no radio, no bluetooth, and for the models that do video it plays only a few video codecs (*.mov, MPEG4 and MP4). No Divx or AVI. Its only saving grace is that it is small+light. I use it for my commute, but I doubt I'll buy another.

I cannot comment much on the Zune but the reviews have been ho-hum. Its neither bad nor spectacular. It does have more features than the Ipod but overall its not a killer product. One thing I thing the Zune supports either/or *.avi or WMA which makes it better for video.

I have been out of the MP market for awhile so I cannot tell you whats hot right now. In the past Archos and Creative have been good.
