Hey all,

Just wanted to post an update, the big news has come and gone it is progressing quite nicely. Due to the sensitivity of the news I have decided putting it off 1 more week. But rest assured all will be revealed in due time. Again this news is big to my wife and myself, it’s been a long tough road but it seems to all be coming together. Stay tuned.

NOT… I, if you ask anyone am a Mac fanboy as of 4yrs ago, I have had all macs from the ibook to powerbook to powermac to macbook. This also includes all the ipods minus the newer nano’s (chubsy and long neck). The innovation at apple seems to be stagnating. I want to move past the ipod, and look at the microsoft zune. It’s been getting the bum rap from everyone as nothing more than a cheap imitation of the ipod. I say nay, it needs to get really given a chance to succeed.

The ipod had its rocky road in the beginning as well, but do to the one thing that apple does that no one can beat (marketing) that went by unnoticed. Microsoft on the other hand either has no clue about marketing or is just really, really bad at it… see the windows without walls commercials.

The point for this post is to put it out there because i know folks at Microsoft read this blog. Contact me I want to check out the zune… Good enough I would be more than willing to give up my ipod for it…

Microsoft Can You Hear Me!
