Zune proves to be an iPod nuisance, not killer

| In Short

| All in all it's a decent effort from Microsoft, but I wouldn't say
| it's the iPod killer that they had hoped for, but instead another
| contender. I'm a fan of the Zune, but apart from its larger screen,
| I wouldn't say there is much that particularly sets the bugger
| apart from the competition. Still, it's got a decent enough battery
| life and sure as hell beats my PSP for those tiresome train journeys.

| continue to beef up the perceived value of Apple as a platform
| choice for the masses.

| If Apple's iPod is the nicely tuned Porsche of portable media players and
