you lose more calories on the elliptical but its easier to raise your heart rate on the treadmill, which causes you to burn calories in a resting state

Running outside is even better because you have real-world forces you're dealing with. (gravity, wind, traction, etc). in a TM vs EXT battle, i would go with the TM I suppose because you can cover more distance & attain higher speeds on the TM vs an EXT. I am NOT a fan of EXT's for various reasons, I have a past blog post on this topic called "I'm waging a war vs EXT's".

Depends. If you want a low impact workout that can help you mantain cardio I'd opt for the elipical. It's easier on your knees, ankles, and feet. But I feel ultimately if you want to step up your cardio game, it's definitely the mill. I use both.
