Q: I am planning on getting the Zune 80 gig. I already have an Ipod charger (the kind with the usb port). So what I was wondering is if when I get the Zune, instead of buying a Zune charger, would it work to plug the included usb cord into the Ipod charger.

A: It won't matter if the voltage is the same or differemt. The ports are proprietary on each device making it impossible to use the charger from one with the other device.

Don't pay attention to the pod heads. Get the Zune a judge for yourself.
