    You're all getting it wrong. He's been given the "Nuclear Football" already. It's desguised as a Zune because no one will steal it.

    You mean he's not an anti-semitic, terrorist, marxist, communist, fascist, muslim, atheist, anti-christ, racist ( to white people ), and socialist as fox news told us all about?


    Well, I'll be damned.

    @iFans, Gather behind me.: "Same here dude" I don't think you know what you're agreeing to. So let's clear a few things up:


    I did not vote for Obama. I'm not an Apple fan. I own an iPod 80gig, but wish it was a Zune.


    If you read one of my comments and think: Hey, this guy is an Apple fan like me. Then one or both of the following must be true, A) You are not understanding my comment correctly, and/or B) I am being sarcastic.


    Nothing against you as a person - if you are a person and not just an Apple spambot - but I just don't care much for Apple.

    @iFans, Gather behind me.: So cable subscribers are pathetic? And Netflix subscribers?


    Consider this fact - your connection to the internet is "rented".


    I don't know what math they teach at BASIC but here's some real world math - $15 x 12 months = $180. $180 a year for all the music you want to listen to. And you can keep 120 of them forever.


    As opposed to $180 which buys either 180 songs encoded at 128kbps or 18 albums which can only be played on either an iPod or iTunes.

    Maybe he finds value in one of the few players with a screen its size at $250 with 120GB on tap, processing power to run a whizzy interface and still has an analog hole to run video out.
