Update: Since I posted this last night, this article i’ve linked to has gotted dotted (slashdotted) and mashed (mashabled). I guess this article fits into the Jerry Springer category.

There are some things in this article that are true, but it’s full of inaccuracies. So many that I am going to let you just head over to give them traffic for a job poorly done. Despite running a Zune centric site and having a bias towards Zune, I at least can point out the good in Apple products. Others seem to have a problem with that and end up making false statements…

Today’s Zunes claim to uniquely provide wireless sync, but they require being plugged in order to do this! That means Microsoft’s wireless sync has as many wires as Apple’s USB sync, it just 20 times slower. That’s not an advantage nor a feature. It’s a marketing lie.

Ok, one other that I want to quote since I definately use the radio a lot. ( )

Another poor decision was adding a radio. Users don’t pay $250 for a hard drive based music player to listen to the radio. Further, radio reception isn’t very good without an external antenna. The iPod solves both issues by offering a $30 external radio control that doubles as an antenna. Microsoft “bundled this in,” resulting in a radio with poor reception that everyone had to buy, which only complicated its design.

Has this guy ever seen or touched a Zune?
