CNet staged another Prizefight recently - this time challenger Zune when up against the current MP3 champion the iPod. At stake the title ‘World’s Best MP3 Player’. CNet’s Veronica Belmont played referee in a 5-rounder. 

The contestants were evaluated on the basis of their design, interface, compatibility, features and performance. The Zune won the interface round, but lost out to the iPod in the areas of compatibility and features. 

The final score from CNet: iPod squeaks past Zune by a score of 20:19. This verdict is similar to, but somewhat less generous than the 18:14 margin assigned by the London Times in their recent article “Test Bench special: Zune v iPod“.
