Today we saw an article by Stefan over at IHaveaZune.com, its about his preference in the ongoing batter of words that's been going on of late between tech super-blog's Engadget and Gizmodo. He picks Gizmodo do to their openmindedneess regarding Microsofts little player that could (Zune) over Engadgets typical naysayer attitude regarding the up and coming player.

This doesn't surprise us at all. Gizmodo has been on board with Redmond's answer to the iPod from the start. No matter what their reader's have to say about it, and, some have been pretty critical of Gizmodo's enthusiasm, even so much as to suggest that Microsoft may, in some way, be compensating them for the added exposure from one of the internet's coolest tech blogs.

Don't get me wrong, I know for a fact Microsoft is not paying Gizmodo to quasi-promote thier MP3 player. Some just can't exsept that this is truly a wonderful player. Which in my opinion has little to do with the quality of said device but rather simply as a status symbol. Of course, we see it all the time, Zune is any easy product to take shots at due to it's late arrival to market and it's lack (do date) of a major following. However, the Zune does have a following and it's one of the most loyal I've seen for any portable music device.

In the end we don't know if this will achieve the type of market saturation that it's producers expect (20 to 20% share), but we do know our personal preferences.
