Also, don't forget that there is absolutely no malicious code for Mac systems, and they never have any problems at all... Also, you will instantly be 'cool' if you own a Mac, versus being a suit if you own anything else...

How about you actually use a Zune to figure that out.

For that matter, why do iPhone/iPod Touch users need to 'Jailbreak' their devices just to make it do more? That's more ridiculous.

I love WMP 11. Can't wait to try this.]]>Jan 21st 2008 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/zalternator-opens-up-your-zune-to-wmp11-itunes-sync/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/zalternator-opens-up-your-zune-to-wmp11-itunes-sync/

I don't see Apple busting out to make the ipod work with other mac audio apps. Oh yeah. Apple users are happy with that POS with its innovative "list box" UI circa 1997.

I like the zune app. It just misses a few features that would be nice to have.

I got a Zune because I despise the iPod (own three). I've since given them away.

Its the best PMP of its class on the market right now, and that includes iPod.

The drawback is the software is the most worthless collection of bits I have ever had the misfortune of installing on my PC. I dont like iTunes, but this really takes the cake. Looks like this hack will remedy that.]]>Jan 22nd 2008 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/zalternator-opens-up-your-zune-to-wmp11-itunes-sync/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/zalternator-opens-up-your-zune-to-wmp11-itunes-sync/

1. Is this reversable?

2.
