The Zune
In a world gone mad of generic mp3 players, few seem to really break the mold anymore. Today’s industry is fueled by change. People want to be unique; they don’t want to blend in with the rest of society. However, in the audiophile’s world there was only one legitimate choice for an audio player (the iPod). Not anymore. Here comes the Zune. It’s an mp3 player that doesn’t make exceptions. Microsoft has finally done something in the audio world. Maybe their new lively CEO (Microsoft’s equivalent to Howard Dean) wanted to end the i-regime. Microsoft created the zune to exploit what other mp3 players are lacking.
