    yeah cause ipods are sooo big....\







    "When it comes to Zune's physical size, it is pretty much the same width as iPod, but a bit longer. This image accurately shows their relative sizes:"



    * Height: 4.4 inches;

    * Width: 2.4 inches;

    * Depth: 0.58 inches;





    # Height: 4.1 inches

    # Width: 2.4 inches

    # Depth: 0.55 inch

    It's also a fashion statement. Can you see Gucci cases made for a Zune?



    It's also what your friends get. Especially if one is a teen.

    Um... the iPod is .43 inches. The Zune is 35% thicker.

    That's for the 80 GB model. Since the Zune is 30 GB, you want to compare to the 30 GB iPod. Therefore, the comparison becomes:

    # Width: 2.4 inches

    # Depth: 0.43 inch



    Which means that the Zune has 44.75% more volume than the same-capacity iPod.

    Unfortunately, Apple got rid of that footnote on the new shuffle page, I think because there aren't all those "pack of chewing gum" references anymore.



    Yes, I remember now, it was actually on the Apple pages. Pity they took it off. Instead of "do not eat" though there should be a warning now about "Keep your earbuds connected to iPod Shuffle. This way if you accidentally swallow it [for example, if your really hot step mom comes out of her room with only her lingerie on while you are closely examining your iPod Shuffle] just pull on white cable to dislodge from throat."

    Actually, if you are in a gay neighbourhood flashing your pink nano, you'd get hit on if you're a guy. If you are a girl, you'd just get some sass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sass) from them. If you are in a "macho" neighbourhood flashing your pink nano and you are a guy, you'd get beat up... [To paraphrase Chris Rock: if you're in a white neighbourhood, they'll beat you up. If you're in a black neighbourhood, they'll beat you up and steal your pink nano. And your shoes.]

    You're lucky I haven't followed through with my inspiration about iPorn and Apple strategy. Seriously though, I've got an idea on iPod phone MVNO etc. We'll see what happens.
