Final thoughts
We can spend pages listing the Zune's features, but when it comes down to it, Microsoft's biggest achievement will be overcoming the Zune stigma still lingering from last year's debut. With its beautiful screen, podcast integration, revamped interface, and wireless sync, we believe the latest crop of Zunes should finally take hold as a true iPod alternative.

"Unlike the iPod, the Zune's built-in video output mirrors its onscreen display, which means that all of the Zune's features (including menus) can display on your TV."

Wow, I didn't expect this at all. Apple TV killer anyone?

The Zune30 already does this...but zune 80 is better with the upgraded TV output resolution.
yeah, the Zune 80 is an Apple TV killer. I knew it the moment they make Wireless Sync possible. so, what is an AppleTV ?

So, does anyone know if the firmware upgrade to 1st gen Zune owners will overwrite the EQ?

No concerete info on that matter. My guess would be yes, but I certainly don't hope so since I'm considering buying a Z30 intead of the Z80.

No EQ kind of angers me.  I never liked the flat sound most players had, I hope this one is different or they add it back in the future.
