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)...

thats true, apple certainly has a big market share because of timing and a pretty good product.

I saw the zune, and i could see myself using it, and using it more then the ipod at that.
I really dislike the apple rumors and fanboyism that you see everywhere.
The zune is customizeable ( unlike the ipod) has a sleek interface, and has the right vibe. I haven't gotten the sence of, useablelity, from other products till the zune.

you can argue all you want the the marketplace is bad yadah yadah. but i havent used the apple marketplace much either, and also have qutie a few probelms with it.

anyway, its holdiay season. Put away your fanboyism, product favors, and opinions.

and love the people around you
