Where can one procure a Zune sticker for one's self?  They obviously exist, as you just gave some away...

These do not have an outlet for distribution. The only way to get one is to listen to the Zune Insider Podcast and participate in our sticker giveaway contests.

And participate I shall (and did)!  Can I make a suggestion about the contests though?  Since it is a podcast, and people listen to it at different times for different reasons, can it be more of a drawing system than a first-come system?  Hearing about the contest on my way to work in the morning means I can't enter until I get home at night!

Can I make a suggestion about the contests? Can it be a drawing rather than a first-come basis seeing as how people listen to the podcast at different times?

Oops, didn't see the other comment post.  My bad!

I have owned three IPODs. I resented the proprietary nature. Each purchase was the result of impovments more capacity and software improments. In each case I was just as disappointed.

When Zune came. I was convinced by the notion that here was the ultimate. I could manage my music and videos on my own. Congratulations, I, at least, view you on a par with Apple. To my friends and family I now insist Zune is just another IPOD clone.

I lost my music and videos due to a hard drive crash. I was not worried I had a Zune which would allow me to restore my music, etc. Now I realize that is really an IPOD clone 'cause it no longer functions as a storage device which allows me to restore my music

ps if I loose what I have on Zune I will give it away as I did all three IPODs.
