What is the difference of Ipod,Zuni to MP3 Player ?

I would want to own one of these,but I want to know what is the best kind. Thank you in advance. Vannili

Update:

ans.1-- thank you , my job is production and I would like to listen to music discreetly. I have seen these kind of radios from some kids,I thought it is neat,because the ear listening device is so tiny in just one ear and the radio is so small. I think I will buy Zune like what you got.

    Storage wise per price, they're mostly the same and they both play MP4 videos. The iPod has more brand recognition. Special features:

    Nano is motion sensitive, not really all that impressive to me.

    iPod touch has wifi and can surf the web, if you're good with computers you can add extra programs to it, turning it into a pretty nice PDA.

    Zunes also have wifi in all their models, but they're a little bit more limited for what the wifi does. If someone nearby has a Zune, you can lend them a copy of your songs. The zunes tend to have bigger screens and can sometimes be a bit cheaper. One of the perks with the Zune is the zune pass. For $20 a month (cost of a CD) you can download pretty much unlimited songs from the Zune Market, and also you get to perminantly own 4 songs each month, not a lot, but 4 free songs each month do add up. Zunes also have built in FM tuners. The downside is that Zunes have a play time of about 12 hours for music.

    In my opinion, price wise, the Zune has much better hardware for the cost. However the software for the Zune is not anywhere near to the level that Apple has for the iPod. Apple is known for their user friendlyness. I've owned both Zunes and iPods. Right now my primary MP3 player is a 30GB Zune having purchased it at a very discounted price. The screen is huge compared to other players. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with it. It's just the software is horrible compared to the hardware.
