Comments on: ZuneOriginals: Free Zune customization

Microsoft is offering its latest line of Zune MP3 players with custom, laser-etched graphics.

At last - the Zune is cool!

I love these funky Zunes. The Zune is actually fairly nice to use, just let down by the rather droll looks. Can it compete with the iPod as a style icon even with flashy overhauls like this? Hhhmmm, not sure.

Are iPods really that cool looking?

To be honest I have never found the iPod to be the most beautiful device out there. To me it looks fairly bland and in general, has not really evolved substantially over its entire lifespan, at least from a physical stand point. The new Zune on the other hard looks very stylish and unique, not to mention the features it has over the iPod and the huge screen. Not that I have anything against iPod, I just think that there are other music players out there with a similar mix of style and functionality, and the Zune happens to be among the best in my opinion.

The reason you find the ipod bland

Because you see it everywhere and you no longer find it interesting

FREE?! i would have actually paid for those. they look really nice. Hope some
colour ones come too (although it is laser etched). and maybe one where you
can design yourself.
