Good read.

I've still not seen a Zune anywhere excluding pictures on the web. I didn't realise 16 people owned the Zune.

I was surprised about the 256Kbps encoding though, especially as all the adverts for iPods say how it holds X songs 1 and then somewhere towards the bottom of the page you see 1 Capacity based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding; actual capacity varies by content. . Do you think they'll stick with saying it can hold 20,000 songs and keep the little at 128Kbps or do you think they'll move to saying it holds 10,000 at 256Kbps songs? :yinyang:

As long as they keep offering 128k content, most likely.
