I'd hate to be on the Zune team right now. They've probably realized that they spent the last year and a half copying the wrong device!! Steve was right, skate to where the puck will be, not where it is now. Anyone want to take bets on how long their competing device will take to put together?

    Yup, Microsoft always seem to be playing catch-up and they always get it so wrong. Here's the thing though. Microsoft can't make a competing device to this because they can't use the patented multi-touch screen and if they tried, it would end up just like the Zune. It looks like it has a wheel but they are just buttons. In other words a less functional knock-off.

    True, it would be nice to see them try and end up getting the pants sued off them. Again
