I agree entirely Bob, obviously.
But you could have gotten a Windows Mobile based phone and given up nothing. Phone, internet, music, video, streaming, email, sat. radio ... the whole shabang! [It infuriates me when Jobs claims that the iphone is the first to be able to do this stuff, REALLY, then how come I've beeen doing all this *** since '03? Though I like the Zune hardware, I've said many times that any one of my WM phones will out perform it, especially the ones with touchscreens like my HTC-TytN. Blackberry's, since day one, have seemed so hobbled as to leave me scratching my head as to why people would like them so much. Of the smartphone world, they truley are the Zune while WM=iPod.
Anways, if fewer people were mindless zealots, they would realize that there are more than 2 ways to skin a cat. Congrats for breaking out! Shame on MS for not dealing with this yet!
Zune 30gb? - Waste! iPod Classic, 160gb - Dusty. iPhone wife has it. iPhone 3g, posting from it. :) Suck it Zune!
