This was too funny a story not to pass along.
My co-worker Paul has some friends who work at the Apple Store. The other day they had a customer call with a unique problem. Here's how it went down (more or less):
Customer: Hi, I'm having trouble syncing my iPod with iTunes.
Apple guy: That's odd. When you plug it in, it should just pop right up.
Customer: Nope, I get nothing.
Apple guy: OK, what model iPod do you have?
Customer: I don't know. How can you tell?
Apple guy: If you look on the back it should say the model there. Something like 40GB.
Customer: I turned it over but it doesn't say anything like that.
Apple guy: It should be there somewhere.
Customer: Nope. Nothing like that.
Apple guy: OK. Read me what it does say.
Customer: It says "Hello from Seattle"
Apple guy: That's not an iPod. That's a Zune.
Customer: But I asked for an iPod for Christmas.
Apple guy: Sorry, you got zune-ed.
So it looks like not only is the Zune not selling, the people who get them didn't even want them. Hilarious!

I had never heard of this "Zune" until today. They definitely need to do a bit more marketing in SC, I guess. Sounds like a lot of work to me.
Good luck getting the millions who own and love iPods to switch over. Thumbs down.
