Coming Zune!
If you didn’t already know my last MP3 player (30GB Dell Jukebox) was stolen when my car got broken into a several weeks ago. I’ve been holding out on replacing it in anticipation for the release of the Microsoft Zune.
Well with an official launch date of November 14th that time is nearly here — ok, so it’s still well over a month out but that’s not the point — the point is that I’ve secured mine, have you?

I highly believe Microsoft can provide some firm competition with the Zune although it’ll be some time before it can be determined whether this venture is a success or a failure. It’ll be very interesting to see how well it’s adopted into a market that is already monopolized by Apple’s iPod brand. One feature I’m personally looking forward to in the Zune that the iPod lacks is it’s built it FM tuner. I ride the bus most mornings and it’d be nice to be able to dial in to the local morning shows and yet still have the ability to pull up other media content.
