The Zune has great potential of being more than it is. @Al Actually, I think I know what the author is referring to when he says you can't go back to the now playing screen. I tried it on my Zune and he'd right. If you go to view a picture, you can't tell the Zune to go to the next song unless you get out of the picture menu and go to the Music Menu and wait a few seconds. What if I am listening to a playlist, go to view some pictures, and then hear a song I don't want to hear. Currently there is no way to skip a song while viewing photos w/o stopping to view those photos. I see no problem with the Zune becoming more like the iPod, but I don't think that should be the goal of the Zune. Its goal should be to become something more than the iPod. And I think this article touches on this goal. The advice about a Zune should have a sideshow feature is definitely not rooted in iPod-envy. Anyway, great list of suggestions. I hope Microsoft implements at least a third of them. I totally agree with this assessment. The Zune has great potential of being more than it is.

And what the f***? you want zune to literally become the ipod. hell no, that is what is good about zune, it is different. besides i dont think that many people need to change the main menu. this article has some good points, but the rest is completely crap( literally wanting the ipod). the zune can already return to the now playing screen. just go to the main menu and press back button.
