I asked her if she would like a Zune I had received as a gift since it can playback video and has an FM radio. She was using a 1st generation iPod nano at the time which did not have either feature. She looked at the Zune and said she would rather keep using her 1st generation nano. I later bought her an iPod touch. But, she preferred the nano even then, BTW. Last year, I replaced her 1st generation nano with a 4th generation model. She&#8217;s very happy with that now (still doesn&#8217;t use the iPod touch much).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1st generation Zune (left), 1st generation iPod nano (middle), 4th generation iPod nano (right) If you have a teenager, don&#8217;t bother to ask if he or she would prefer an iPod or a Zune.
