The Sir-mix-a-lot-Zune Tribute Contest "early bird gets the worm t-shirt" Award: Winner...

I've had a few solid entries to my pointless fun Zune swag giveaway contest. I never really told you what you'd win, though: You'll win a tee-shirt (men and women's sizes available). And this jam jacket from our friends at DLO Cool swag, huh!? High-five!? (Cesar goes up for the high-five and . . .*you decide*)

I know what you're thinking: "Cesar, thanks for posting information about Zune . Thanks for trying to answer my questions . And hearing about the launch parties was a lot of fun. . . But isn't it about time you made up another pointless fun Zune swag contest and posted it?" Well, my friend, the answer to that question is yes. Resoundingly. What can you win? Zune S.W.A.G.! (Stuff We All Get)! Anything in the hallways I can find for you. You know, things like stickers, posters, refrigerator magnets...

So I'm actually more excited to eat pumpkin pie than turkey. But that's me. Anyways, no posts for a few days. A lot of folks have asked me, so how is Zune doing? Despite the iFanboy pleas that Zune is DOA; it's tanking, brown is ugly, etc, I can tell you that we are exactly where we hoped we'd be. That is, without sharing specific numbers after the first week of sales. We're all looking forward to a successful holiday retail season. We're also thinking in long term here. And hey, so are you ;) Anyways...
