Plus Microsoft has the sense to make firmware updates DOWNLOADABLE, instead of forcing people to buy a new model to get the new updates.

]]> <![CDATA[The iPhoney Award]]> Okay so i have to agree with the anti-applers about the zune. Design is not similar enough to be called a fake (especially on a story called iphoney). In fact it looks like you just added that one to stir up a little flame war. just me.
Although aesthetically ipod and zune aren't that similar, you have to admit that the only reason MS even considered making the zune was because of the success of the ipod. NOT SAYING APPLE INVENTED THE MP3 PLAYER. gotta go, SJ needs another latte.

]]> <![CDATA[The iPhoney Award]]> Wow... I respect you guys, Gizmodo, and your opinions, but to claim the zune is an Iphone copy... The Zune will take over, it's inevitable. Microsoft has the money, the product, the intelligence. Apple has fruit.

Cloners use a time machine to go to the future. There, they look at an Apple product that has yet to ship and clone it. Then (bear with me), they take the time machine again to go to the past (not the past of this future, but even better, the past of the initial present). Finally, they launch the cloned product way before Apple does. Those awful cloners!!!

]]> <![CDATA[The iPhoney Award]]> So, Meizu MiniOne... Now that the iPhone has dropped $200 and the iPod Touch has been announced complete with OS X, Safari/WiFi/Internet, and given that it will be hacked the f-up to include support for just about anything, um... what are your plans?

MiniOne: "Well, I gotta be honest, I guess I missed my window. Dammit. F-ME! F-ME! --Uh, sorry. Anyone want a somewhat buggy, semi-neat, not nearly as good knock-off with some extra 'please-love-me' features thrown in?"

Apple is God. If you don't believe Steve, just ask Gizmodo. They'll set you straight.

]]> <![CDATA[The iPhoney Award]]> You guys are a bunch of Apple fanboys. The Zune? Are you kidding me? Apple would never make something that looks like that. Not saying the Zune is ugly, I like its styling, but it's not an Apple-ish style.

]]> <![CDATA[The iPhoney Award]]> Come on, we know its a ripoff, but everyone likes the Minione... Oh and just for clarity fanboys, Zune's resolution is 320 x 480, it has the same dpi as the ipod, not the same res...

Kotahn

]]> <![CDATA[The iPhoney Award]]> ok, most are similar or carbon copies but the Zune? That's just a low dig, Apple didn't create the rectangular box shape you know?
