America Can Compete

[gonzo]

Even though the Zune has technology from Toshiba it is still nice to see Microsoft, an American company giving Apple Inc. a run for their money. The ipod has dominated since it was first introduced but know we have something that can compete with the ipod. the Zune is going to do to the ipod what the X-box did to the PS2!

[zune]

Yes, they are both us corporations which is good for the US.  However, Toshiba may or may not make the next gen (500 GB) Zune.  I don't think the Zune or iPod would ever be manufactured in the US, that would triple the cost, literally.

[hoola]

sadly enough this is true. Anything you buy here that says, made in america or built in america, cost 4x as much or more. They tell us to buy american but my wallet tells me to do otherwise.

    prices keep rising but pay stays the same.

The only thing we produce in this country any longer are ideas, style and trends. Microsoft will take control over development of future Zune players and may outsource to anyone for production. I don't know about 500GB but the next zune should offer hot swap drives.

To me, it's got all the fun add ons that let you do more.

hot swap drives LOL laughing my head off !

youre funny why would u need to do that on a music video player LOL
