So much has been made of Amazon’s Kindle. The brand name has already become synonymous with the product, like Q-Tips, Kleenex, and iPod. And much of the hoopla is well deserved. The Kindle was a quantum leap forward in technology, accessibility, and user-friendliness.
But that was then; this is now. With the introduction of more and more Kindle clones on the market, is the Kindle worth the premium price?
Sometimes, the original really is better than those that follow. It’s tough to argue that any portable music device that has followed the iPod can match the...

In my, opinion, many people buy iPods, not because of capabilities, but because of the name. There are many equal, but under loved competitors.
Let's talk about the biggest, but still relatively unknown competitor, Microsoft's Zune. The Zune is a digital audio player produced by Microsoft. The line also includes Zune software and the Zune Marketplace services sold by Microsoft, which provide online music, video, and podcast downloads. The Zune 30, the first generation Zune music player, has a 30 GB hard drive, 3” screen, and simple directional pad for menu navigation. The second generation set of Zunes includes the Zune 4, 8,...
