I read on Yahoo... that MS is loosing $50 per Zune. They were forced to recalculate their price because of Apples price break.

Several MP3 makers have tried to unseat Apple in the digital player market... problem is that Apple has the whole turnkey solution. Also the market is driven by young people... is there going to be a cool mystic about having a "Zune"?

Only time will tell... I'm betting the Zune will go the way of all the Sony products which were the supposed "iPod Killer" Better features don't necessarily mean success. Yes Zune has cool features.. but anything that is worth it will find it's way to the iPod too.

Let's not underestimate the gigantic 3rd party offerings for the iPod either... thousands of cool iPod accessories. Will these companies produce anything for Zune? Maybe if market share or kickbacks from MS persuade them.

ha ha... I hope Chi-lan doesn't flame me.. ha ha she knows I love her......
