In fact I have both my Zune and an ipod touch, the touch sits in my backpack because I need something that will play video for longer than an hour. I love the interface of the Zune, very clean, very simple. The built in wifi which let's me sync without connecting, and the fact that I can use a subscription that allowed me to download 10 new albums so far this month, and now I can own 10 of the songs. I would love to see MS do a better job with the Zune Marketplace software, more podcasts and videos, but for a service only 3 years old it is very close to where itunes is.

This is a classic Microsoft tactic they have used since they decided to do Windows, and played a large role in establishing their dominance in the market. The only thing just as sure is the lemmings who listen to them. Does anyone really want to admit they actually follow this particular Twitter account?

The product category is growing way too fast in a slow economy to ignore. I thought Microsoft would just buy Palm and takeover the marketing of the Pre, but everyone wants to build their own baby. With Windows 7 and a new Zune phone, could this be the year for a Microsoft comeback? I doubt that Apple is scared, but maybe they should be a little bit.

I buy music from CD baby and other online stores all of the time. You download them as MP3s and add them to your iTunes library, cover art and all. No problem here. Have never had stability issues either with my previous iPods or current iPhone 3G. “Im a zune fan right here. Its FAR FAR FAR superior to iphone.

I think it's interesting that this twitter came from tweetie which is a Mac/iPhone client. LOL! I could see a Zune phone being a total disaster. Windows 6.5 already looks like an outdated OS and early sneak previews of WM7 look just as bad. Microsoft is now just trying to stay relevant with the new iPhone and Pre. BTW, Office with Twitter and Facebook support? Office 2010 is shaping up to be the most bloated version yet by far. This next Office looks to be the worst version.
