Apparently, "TV studios and networks are trying to tap into the burgeoning power of blogs as promotional tools by flooding bloggers with free stuff in hopes the flattered recipients will reward them with positive coverage." How do we know this?

Not to mention that the thing breaks CC liscences by adding DRM to anything that you put on it.

I guess this is the price you pay for the cool wireless beaming feature. When this was a rumor it sounded like the greatest thing in the world. Now you realize that this is the sad way it has to be in order to keep your company from the lawyer-y grip of the RIAA.

I keep hearing "Zune Zune Zune" in my head - like that car commercial from however long ago. iPod seems like a name with staying power - I can see it being around 20 years from now. Zune sounds like something they'll talk about in "I love the 00's".

Microsoft better fire their fucking brand consultant because that name has some serious Zima resonances.

Gee, wonder why I wasn't invited. Ha.

The scuttlebut from all the Apple sites say that M$ just released Zune 1.0 (a modified version of the Toshiba Gigabeat) in order to get something out into the market and then start working on Zune 2.0. In return, Apple is waiting on releasing the fullscreen, touchless iPod so they can properly layeth the smack down at the right time. Hence the so-called "boring" iPod updates earlier in the week. Obvs.
