Apple iPod Nano

Total points:

Apple iPod Nano (4G): 21

Microsoft Zune (Flash, 3G): 18

Winner: Apple iPod Nano (4G)

Microsoft's Zune gave a great fight, tying the Nano in three of the five rounds. Still, it looks like the iPod will maintain its dominance over the world of MP3 players for another season. The trouble with being number one, however, is that you've got a lot of rivals gunning for you. Don't be surprised if you see the Nano back in the ring soon to defend its title.
