Where is the Zune? Zune = good anti-iPod device? Huh? I don't get it. I don't see the Zune being any better than the iPod, and *I* really don't like iPods. The Zune is just a re-branded Toshiba (http://www.twice.com/article/CA6366785.html) and not even a great one at that. I'll give you one thing... Zune has hype, and marketing, and a sleek interface, but common, style should never win over substance. (Hence the reason I dislike iPod's so much.) I say, if you do some research, you can find some damn good mp3 players that do more, cost less and will help you stray from the evil-empires (M$, Sony, Apple et al.). But that's just my opinion.
Thank you Engadget for the gift buying guide, I thought it was quite well done... and thanks also for not including too many obvious gifts (eg: 7th gen consoles, mp3 players that everyone knows about, etc)...
