ZUNE: the big Q. is the durability of the unit, iPods record for longevity is not great when i here people saying they only had the units for a year or two and they die (how hard are they on the units?) I've never owned a iPod. 2000 (before the iPod) i used my Compaq iPaq for playing music, Now I'm using a palm T5 (I added an open source program that i can play ogg) and i love it, the clean interface of palmOS i miss the inherent tweek-ability of windows pocketPC, but the color and bigger screen. for now I'll stick with PDA's for there versatility.
QUESTION: What is your guy's opinion on the term PodCast and do you think Apple has any rights to the term?
EXPLANATION: Apple is trying to keep a hold on iPod Pod (rightfully so to a point)(iPodder, iPodderX, myPodder, Podcast Ready etc) and to some degree the term PodCast granted they have popularized it to some degree but they didn't invent it. and secondly, but Compaq was using iPaq longer did they in some since take the popularity of the term iPaq to boost the popularity of the iPod. when the iMac came out I first thought of iPaq (which at the time was a PDA and small computers like the iMac but by Compaq) who started the whole thing of putting a small i in front of a word should that person go after apple. Maybe that's why Apple allowed HP to make iPods.
