We know you've all been wondering how Zune will fare against Apple's iPod in terms of features, interface, screen layout, etc. We got tidbits on some of the major features that Zune will have and allow me to go through a few of them as quick as i can:

The scroll thing in the middle that looks like a wheel: Unlike its rival, Zune doesn't have the touch-sensitive scrolling feature. It looks like a wheel, but it is really just buttons placed on the four sides. Left button lets you access the menu, and the play/pause button is on the right one. The buttons on the top and bottom of the 'wheel' lets you scroll up and down menus. On top of the player, near the headphone port, is a hold switch just like the one you have in your iPod.

General User Interface: White text on black screens and a visual effect of a white and gray-colored highlight bar that fades in and out as you scroll through the menus. The wallpaper for the screen is user-customizable, and the screen itself is bigger than the one in your 30G iPod. Album art can be viewed in a full screen mode but also leaves room for track details and battery life indicator at the bottom.
