The Zune from what I've heard is not a half bad device, it's also a Toshiba device in disguise. For first time entry, it's not bad, especially considering the junk that's out there. I wouldn't buy a Zune, but he could have also easily picked another MP3 player with low market penetration and gotten similar results.BTW, why would any reasonable person buy a Zune over any iPod, iRiver, Cowan, or Samsung player that is similarly priced? I don't understand![]()
