So, what is the favored portable music player out there? My guess would, quite obviously, be the iPod, Apple's amazing little player that holds some ungodly amount of market share, like 83%. But, the Zune is coming out in a month of so, we may have a competitor, everybody says. But here's my opinion - if you say it's a competitor, it's not. The only thing that's gonna dislodge the iPod from it's throne is something better, and not so overhyped that anyone who buys it will be disappointed. Plus, there's the cool factor. I mean, I can't beat the simplicity of design, ease of operation, and seamless integration with iTunes (even I'm using Fedora Core more and more now, so that's becoming less and less important) for the money. I have owned a Creative Nomad, and that thing sucked. Hard. Even Creative's newer offerings are decently designed at best, and their software blows. Hard. So anybody use anything other than an iPod that wants to gloat about being unique?
