Here's a couple of accurate comparisons that clear up any misconceptions you might have about the Zune compared to the iPod. In that first picture on the left, you can see that the Zune's half-inch larger screen is in the same aspect ratio as the iPod's: old-style 4:3. And even though the Zune's screen is depicted in press photos as being sharper than the iPod's, both have a resolution of 320x240.
The second comparison is of the physical size of the iPod and Zune, where their width is just about the same but the Zune is just a little bit taller. Seems like the general impression was that the Zune was much bigger than the iPod. Well, it is, but not by much. Anyway, guys, let's have a 16:9 screen next, mkay?
We don't know what it is about a big box of anything that's so tempting to us gadget hounds, but this here giant box of Zunes make us really want one to play with. Cesar, from Zune Inisder, snapped this pic of what looks like the final retail packaging for the Zune.
What we can deduce from the pic is that the design is most likely finalized, and they've already started producing these players in large quantities. So, there probably won't be any shortages this Christmas if you're interested in picking up a Zune.
