I like the fact that we can create our own "Zune Profile" kind of thing.

what are podcast capabilities?

[Chiups]

The size doesnt matter too much to me when I see that nice big screen. And the being able to dectect when it is horizantal or vertical capability is awesome.

what are podcast capabilities?

a Web-based audio broadcast via an RSS feed, accessed by subscription over the Internet. Originally started with the Ipod. I dont really care too much about this though.

I can't wait to put full length movies on here, it'll make things easier when u & a friend want to watch a movie on a trip or something, the iPod screen is just way too small!
