I am one of the few people on the planet that loves the Microsoft Zune. I’ve had iPods in the past, and have been generally happy with them, but there has always been a glaring problem with either the device or the software. 3+ years ago I switched to Zune because they made a red device (a pretty big deal to me) and I have been constantly satisfied with it. Well, a couple of months ago, my trusted 1st gen Zune, Amuro (all of my mobile devices are named after Gundam pilots) suffered an unfortunate accident and couldn’t be repaired, so a replacement was needed……and I replaced him with the greatest possible device…the Joy Division special edition Zune.
Only 500 of these magnificent Mp3 players were ever made (mine is 387 if you were curious) and I couldn’t be happier that I finally got one. I’ve posted before about my absolute love for Joy Division and this Zune is just the perfect compliment to that obsession. I have dubbed him Duo after my favourite pilot from Gundam Wing.
…I realize now that this whole post is really only to expel some of my excitement….whatever….
If you don’t have a Mac, I very strongly suggest getting a Zune. It is superior to the iPod, so if you spend as much time with your player as I do, the Zune is really for you.
