Front View.

Side by Side. The iPod is taller but thinner (see other picture). The Zen's backlight seem to be brighter.

Top View.

From this view you can see that the iPod is substantially thinner. The button layout is also cleaner & simpler.

Back View.

The back of the Zen is curved, hence feels better in your palm. Unlike its micro cousin, the Zen doesn't have removeable batteries.
