Yea it's rediculous, the ONLY advantage glass has is scratch resistance, but you can easily avoid scratches using a screen protector or case. The fact that anyone would use glass on something like an mp3 player, that has a screen with a 4 inch span is retarded, i can see it holding up a little better on a smaller screen, but this scraan is 4 inches across and the gass goes almost to the edge. complete junk. seriously, dont even consider it, the zune is getting great reviews and there's several things they don't tell you.
1)software is terrible, yes wores then itunes, much worse ( i hate itunes its why i wont own an ipod)
2)battery life is pathetic, for one there's no easy way to turn the thing off, u use the method they tell you and you wake up in the morning with 25% battery left, it doesn't shut off.
3)you can't use it as a hard drive, now anyone that has zen or any other large gig player, this thing is 80 gigs, knows it's nice to be able transport files back and forth with the **********, no such luck with the zune, everything has to be sync'd with the software and it wont do files.
4)the hardware is, as mentioned poorly made
