About 2.4 million next-generation Zunes will be manufactured during the 2007 holiday season, according to reports.
Well, that says something about their expectations. They aren't expecting to outsell the iPod. If they want to put a dent in iPod sales, make it half the price of an iPod. |

I don't know, I am still on the fence when it comes to the Zune and iPod. I am leaning more to the iPod especially with the recent price drops on the Classic with more storage. My music collection barely scratches the surface anyway (5 GBs) when it comes to storage capabilities. But I am looking at it from the point of value and user experience.
Then again, Apple has been a bit too aggressive lately with the vendor lock in, even Microsoft looks like an angel compared to them. The constant iTunes updates are another annoyance, but if money was no question I probably would go for an iPod Touch. I will hold out longer, my Motorola E398 supports up to 128 MBs of memory and I can easily add and remove songs when needed. |

| 2.4Million sounds like 2.4x as many as they sold in their first year. |

The iTunes updates have indeed become a bit annoying...
As for the lock-in, well, I don't have and don't intend to have an iPhone so I'm not worried about lock-ins. TL |
