Gadgets, gizmos, and tools to help make you more productive in business

I was watching this video posted by a friend where some CNN reporters were talking about the Microsoft Zune because it had just been launched.

Watch the segment. What I found really interesting about the short clip was how the iPod took center stage in a Zune feature by sheer power of design - the "bulky" Zune was upstaged by the small and sexy iPod.

I'm a Mac and Apple evangelist, I must confess but this entire segment made me think about how different the two devices really are. When you start to market something as a "____ killer" you're expected to size up against all the other features the iPod has.

Sucks to be Microsoft after seeing this commercial. All it took was the excitement of one of the panelists to show off her new iPod.

Now isn't that damn good viral marketing? The product sells itself.
