"Welcome once again to our long-running Faceoff Series, wherein we pit two web services, apps or gadgets against each other in a knock-down, drag-out fight to win the hearts and minds of Mashable readers. We've had some heated matchups here lately, from the not-even-out-yet next-gen iPhone beating out the Droid Incredible to Apple iBooks besting the Amazon Kindle.\nThis week it's all about yet another mobile device head-to-head, and this time we turn our attention to music players. Here too, Apple has enjoyed a certain mindshare dominance with the iPod/iPhone and iTunes ecosystem. Still, Microsoft arguably has its own very strong contender in the MP3 player space with the Zune HD. Paired with the Zune Pass service \u2014 a subscription offering that Apple thus far lacks \u2014 the Zune HD is some tasty hardware that makes a great portable all-you-can-eat buffet for music lovers.\nSo let's put the Zune HD up against its arch-nemesis the iPod touch to see what Mashable readers think is the best portable music player of the two. Cast your vote in the poll between now and Friday 3 p.m. PST to play your part in this Faceoff, and be sure to let us know in the comments why you backed your player of choice. You can also check out past Faceoff winners and results at the end of this post.
