Hmmm. That’s odd. The new Zunes, which come in Nano-like 4GB and 8GB models, and an iPod Classic-like 80GB model and prices which range from US$149-240, look a lot like iPods. In true Microsoft fashion, though, the maroon colored Nano-ish device is not a Product (RED) item. Its just dark enough to not qualify, but light enough to possibly be mistaken for an iPod Nano. Yeah. Weird. Does Microsoft actually think this will make the Zune popular? Clearly they still think their in the game after having sold 23 of the original model and only had 7 returns.

Now, if you think that the above has an Apple bias, you’d be right. Sure, I’m an unapologetic Apple nerd, but I had no idea there were Zune Zealot. I didn’t think there were enough people who bought them for there to be an entire religion. Of course, I could be inflating this. It could be restricted to just this one guy (WARNING: Really bad language).
