Count me in with those suggesting that you should get the ipod simply because you're buying for your mom, and she'll probably appreciate it more because it's an ipod and is more recognizable, with more stuff to accessorize it. If she's not really into the technology she's probably not going to appreciate the slight benefit of going with a Zen (if there is a benefit), but she'll definitely lose out on the appreciation of the more recognized product.
