"Microsoft has decided to take your money after all."
Really, I'm so glad Microsoft decided to take my money since Apple is all about throwing out all those FREE MP3 players and phones they have with optional software and firmware upgrades that are EXTRA FREE .... engadget ... your website fell off big time.
But since I already have a Zune 80, imma wait till the next one comes out in 2009 to but another one.

How in the hell could you turn a truthful statement such as "Microsoft has decided to take your money after all" into a pro-Apple innuendo? I mean, c'mon now. I may not like this wave of pro-Apple bias that Engadget has been riding on as of late, but I also don't like it when someone tries to turn a non-issue into one for the sake of getting high ranked. Get a grip and learn to read articles for the sake of reading and not just to jump on the anti-Engadget bandwagon that's been going around.
Hey alex, Anti-engadget (and anti-gizmodo) it's been going around for a reason. Engadget has been posting too much good stuff on Apple, with huge amounts of details, and forgetting about other hugely important companies. Look at the recent Vista SP1 posts. It was small, and only 1 post, while Apple's airport extreme got more posts on it. This Zune article isn't that bad, but look at these postings for the Ipod nano coming in pink. There's 2 posts for it, and I only see one for the Zune.
Oh, you misunderstand. I do agree that there's a ridiculously pro-Apple bias on this site (I mentioned that in my previous post), but there's nothing of the like in this specific article. Like I said before, I'm not a huge fan this bias; it's getting too out of hand (for example, an Apple *rumor* made breaking news).
DISCLAIMER: I own a MacBook and a 1G nano. I want a Zune and I'd like to dual-boot Vista. However, I'm too poor to do so...damn. I give credit where credit is due, and I'd have to say that Apple isn't deserving of all that it gets.

... how did you read pro-Mac bias into that? It's just a joke about how companies shouldn't keep products people want out of their hands.
"in before Apple products has/had engraving options too"
Apple products have engraving options too.
Echoing the sentiments above:

SP1 did not have 1 post. If you look at the top right of the Engadget page there is a search function, you know. Look what happens when you search for "red zune"

The writing may be somewhat Apple-biased, but Engadget still posts about this stuff.
People generally like Apple and generally dislike Microsoft.
Microsofties like you are offended by that.

Dig this, I'm from the Philippines where Zune is not officially launched yet but I have two other people I can share songs with.
And FYI, we're previous iPod owners.
If anyone is interested, I Dugg this. Even though this post really doesn't deserved to be Dugg, but there's a big audience.
Or if you find it unnecessary for me to do this, ignore it.
