I think it was back at Christmas that I first started seeing a lot more press and adverts for Zune. Zune for those of you Macheads or non digital music folks, is Microsoft's version of the iPod mp3 player and iTunes music service combo: Zune is not only hardware but it also refers to the software and the marketplace (music store) too. The hype seemed to die down with the Holidays and I never thought anything else about it until recently.
Taking the subway the other day, I was sitting across from a guy who, like me was listening to music. He nodded towards me presumably looking over at what device I was using. I pulled my iPod covered in this gelaskin out of my pocket to show him and he smiled in that knowing way when you find something sympatico, but then he frowned and raised his mp3 player. From across the train it looked something like an iPhone. But it was actually a suped up Zune with what looked like some cool etching on the back side like this. Later that day I started seeing all the adverts on Rcrdlbl.com and took it as a sign. I am now compelled to take a closer look: Microsoft products looking this sexy? I'll keep you posted.
