Funny, I own a BROWN ZUNE 1.0 and i think its a handy little machine. My g/f has a 30gb black Video iPod and i prefer the Zune display wise in the car and at home due to nice little features like displaying album art. Not to mension i got it for $90 at newegg =P but its a ton better than everyone gives it credit for.
It's not that hard to put an FM tuner in there...I think they don't want to at this point because they see it as unnecessary, which makes sense with their philosophy that you should be carrying all the music you'll ever want to listen to on your iPod.
I bought a white zune 30gb when they came out after my 30gb ipod video sad-faced on me, i just upgraded to 2.0 and my sister just bought a zune 2 4gb and they are sick, IMO zune>Ipod Quality/construction wise
only office? really? how about:Xbox 360? and since you mentioned software as well Windows? ( its the most commonly used OS so that must make it a successful one, and even thou windows Vista is a flop, Windows XP is still a great OS ) and how about VB?
you might not like lists, but they get a lot of attention and criticism, because it's just so easy to. here's another one *with* the iphone gadget gifts

I'd say iPhone should be #1 on that list...they completely f**ked it up by not allowing application development.
