I can say that you are probably right on with your assessment. From a geek point of view I can live with some things laking in the software UI. I would rather have more control than anything else, heh.

I can tell you that I decided to go with the Zune due to the nice screen (better than the iPod’s at the time of purchase) and the built in FM tuner. I did consider the iPod, but being from Apple had one hit against it already, heh. Still, the iPod’s are nice and for users that aren’t as technically inclined it may be a slightly better choice, but not by much in my opinion. I would also say that Microsoft will be catching up with the iPod in many ways in the coming months by what I’ve read. There is even a project to get Linux running on the Zune! :D

I’d be happy with either, personally — but I’d too broke to get one.

Always has to be one in the bunch! Well, other than the fact that I already bought the Zune and love it, I would have a hard time buying from Apple on principle.

Besides, I have no guarantees that the iPod doesn’t suffer from the same issue when playing long mp3′s.

(sorry, couldn’t resist)
