I recall there was a point in time where my boss had an iPod, my co-worker had a Zune, and I had a Sandisk E250. They had some fairly different niches-- both the iPod and Zune were in the relatively narrow selection of high-capacity, hard-disc based MP3 players. In that environment, tje iPod was the minimalist option-- less complex UI, seamless package, but feature-poor. The Zune offered far more features and customizability. I can recall being aghast that you couldn't get a FM radio feature on an iPod, when the cheapest 'flash drive with dreams of grandeur' MP3 players offered it. (This, of course, being relevant when a 2Gb player wouldn't contain enough music to feel "infinite" and you'd want more variety)
