I'd really hate to be a Zune marketer this

In addition to having to deal with reviews of
Microsoft's MP3 player that run the gamut from bad to ho-hum, there's

France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM and United are going to offer
“seamless integration” between passengers' iPods and their in-flight
entertainment systems beginning in mid-2007.
By “integration”, they mean that passenger seats
will have iPod-compatible connections that will charge their iPods and
allow those with video iPods to watch their iPod videos on their
seat-back entertainment systems.
Now if only the airlines could get provide more power sockets and WiFi at reasonable rates…
