The Zune looks like it's making real strides. From what I'm reading, it might be a little bit better than the iPod. But it also costs about the same price.
That is why the Zune will fail. It just doesn't have the major advantage on BOTH features and price that it takes to overcome the iPod's entrenchment.
Hell.com was just the first in a whole slew of sites where the "cool" net art kids gathered for basically no other purpose than to act out their fondest collective high school fantasy of being the arbiters of cool and uncool in their little domain.
