Microsoft's iPod killer?

Enter the "Zune"
From what I've read this morning on the usual blogs, it has AM/FM tuner, runs a UI similar to Windows media center, and all the other usual mobile media player stuff. Here's the kicker IMO, see that scroll wheel in the middle? It's not a wheel at all, but 4 buttons arranged in a circle. Weak Sauce.

http://www.comingzune.com/ I will mentiont that the website confuses me.

Anyway, I'll take one if it happened to be sent to me, but I don't think that's going to happen. Besides, I love my iPod. Really. We're thinking about taking our relationship to the next level. Unprotected ear buds...

Forgive me if I think the iPod killer will have to look and act better than a cheap copy. Boo, MS. Sandisk does better with their Sansa line.

Yea... I think SanDisk just announced a 5 or 8 GB model. SanDisk's products are top notch IMO!

The device in that picture looks an awful lot like the LG Chocolate.

My vote, it's bullshit.
