Audiobooks from Audible are now supported on Microsoft Zune.
The Zune is now the best portable music player without a doubt.

Don’t believe me?
Go read Jeff Blankenburg’s post on 10 Reasons the Zune Beats the iPod. Seriously. He’s spot on.
Some key Zune features for me: automatic firmware upgrades, subscription service with 10 purchases now included with monthly fee, wireless sync, awesome user interface on the device, and FM radio.
Did I mention wireless sync? The wireless sync is KILLER! The only problem I had was that it didn’t see my WPA2 wireless network but it works fine after I entered it manually. Wireless sync to my MP3 player was something I wanted since I first started listening to podcasts in early 2006.
The Zune software is also quite nice. I have always hated iTunes and Windows Media Player. The new Zune software has a MixView mode that lets you jump to related artists / albums. And with a Zune subscription you can browse suggested picks from the Zune library based on your listening habits or subscribe to channels that will be automatically refreshed with music based on the theme / genre of the channel.
