The web has been awash of rumors that two new Microsoft Zune MP3 players are on the way later this year. Personally I never really saw the appeal of the Zune (or the Ipod for that matter) but I guess to a fan this would be huge news assuming it’s not a complete hoax. Now don’t get me wrong, I own an MP3 player like everyone else… but I’d never buy a Zune or an Ipod due to the stigma that comes with them. What stigma is that you might say? I’m talking about the stigma of being a trendy, cool person who uses their MP3 player as a status symbol of some kind. Yep, that’s how I feel about you Ipod lemmings! Besides, why would I spend more money on a Zune/Ipod when I can get more features for less money elsewhere? I’d rather pay for good tech than a name brand I can show off at the gym.
That said, I am entering the Zune contest over at John Chow’s blog. If you don’t remember John from my previous posts, he’s best known for his blog which teaches you how to make money on the internet. Apparently John has a Zune he won recently but has no desire to use (can’t blame him there), so he’s giving it away to one person who will be picked randomly at the end of the month. Why would I want to win a Zune? Honestly, I don’t… I’d just sell it on Ebay or Craigslist most likely. What I DO want though is a link to my blog on the front page of John’s blog if I’m announced as the winner of the competition. I value traffic from his site more than I value a overpriced MP3 player. Here’s hoping I win!
