So Microsoft is talking up its new Zune device, and I need to respond. Dick seems like the perfect person to take the plunge and buy one.

And he'll have to quickly realize that the Zune doesn't weigh any less than the iPod, it's just as closed as the iPod, the battery life is worse than an iPod, and so on.

But it'll be brown!

(actually, I think brown is going to make a comeback as a color. But it's fun to laugh at Microsoft's color choice)
