...mixed feelings about Zune. I know that the wireless connectivity will not sway me, but I'm not sure it won't be a selling point for younger people who are more often surrounded by crowds of peers. I just don't understand why Microsoft chose to launch a 30GB hard-drive-based player when the kids these days want cheaper, cuter flash players - not just the iPod nano but the SanDisk Sansa and many others.
