Browsing the Apple section on Digg, I came across this interesting entry describing how Microsoft’s lack of competence forced the author to buy an iPod rather than a Zune:

“It’s been over 7 years since I got my first MP3 player. I started with the 6 GB Nomad Jukebox back in 2000. Upgraded to the 40 GB Nomad Jukebox 3 in 2002 which I kept for a long time (Firewire, two batteries, dedicated 98db line out, etc… were good features even though I repeatedly got asked if it also played CDs due to its size).

After wearing it out so much that I accidentally broke the screen, I was forced to upgrade. I went for the 60 GB Toshiba Gigabeat F in 2005 due to the great screen. I was a bit too used to Creative MP3 players, so when the 60 GB Zen Vision M came out in 2006, I changed over to that. It worked great for a while, until the front face plate actually cracked a bit. A little bit of glue helped tide me over to what I was eyeing on the horizon, the 80 GB Zune 2.”
