you could forgive the obnoxiously stupid packaging and marketing if the device inside that box was still as good as an iPod, but we all know a microsoft i-pod in 2005 would have been a clunky piece of crap. they didn’t figure out the zune until after the iPhone launched and it still wasn’t as polished as iPods from years earlier
