Zune will be bigger than the biggest iPod, Will it Make a Difference?

by Teresa Valdez Klein on November 6, 2006

With airlines so overcrowded that our sardine index has become irrelevant, it’s no wonder that travelers care more about packing light than ever before. After all, who wants to get stuck with an overstuffed bag at her feet because her fellow travelers have already used up all the overhead bin space?

According to this size comparison by Gizmodo, the new Microsoft Zune is 6.12 cubic inches to the 30 gig iPod’s 4.23 cubic inches. But does a difference that small make any difference at all? Would you care?

Size will not be much of an issue. The radio transmitter and receiver might be an issue with the FAA. No one has commented on that, yet. If the FAA bans the Zune, would flight crews be hip enough to know the difference between it and the harmless iPod? Would both devices be banned from flights?
