The demise of the iPod
Well, looks like iPod has a worthy competitor (though most of you will disagree and hold on to your hopes of Apple conquering the known universe by pleading that its just due to the discounted pricing) the Microsoft Zune. Yep, I said it. The Zune has been the top seller on amazon. Though it sure bets buying a $135 4GB iPod Nano when you can buy the brown 30GB Zune for $134. So maybe you'll say this is all due to the discounts. But what about the new Zune 80? They say they have been sold out everywhere and no discount. Look out Apple. Of course the "bad" thing is that it doesn't run with Macs, but seriously only the unlearned (went for a less harsh word) get Macs.

Zune, can it do it?

Zune 80, not in stock till Dec. 17

disclaimer: I'm not exactly pro-Zune, I'd rather have a different player than that, but I'm not exactly anti-iPod.

On the hunt for a Zune 80? Good luck.
