The Zune has a sympathetic pull on the gadget loving side of me. While I generally use Apple products, I like the drive of the underdog. Microsoft knows how to play catchup as we have seen with the Xbox 360 and the great experience many of us have online with our friends. The real question is will Microsoft hit a home run with the Zune HD? If you have an iPod Touch then you can guess the Zune HD will have a similar feature set. The real problem lies in the lack of a hugely successful app store. I am cautiously optimistic that Zune HD can deliver such an app store, but Microsoft has a vast pocket to draw from. The marketing power of a company with such monetary resources that far outweigh most companies certainly helps get Zune noticed.
