Oh snap, Sean you need to send me those rules, because he just sounds like a Apple fanboy.

Unless of course you mean Daniel was referring to the actual ad content which I thought was hilarious too. Which if it’s that case…

I apologize Daniel for incorrectly assuming you to be a blatant Apple fanboy that was mindlessly attacking Microsoft and withdraw my comments.

Actually Jon, I think Daniel was making a joke, which according to the rules of obviousness, you missed.

Actually Daniel, to quote a CG article

“Our source says that an iPhone competitor has been in the works for a while, and the idea of branding it as part of the Zune ecosystem, from the brown color through the interface, came as a recent decision as a response to Apple’s iPhone.”

So yes the “zune phone” is a response to Apple’s iPhone, but it is not a copy. It takes quite a while for project like these to get kicked into motion, and 2 months since the Apple iPhone was released isn’t enough, much less in a huge corporation like Microsoft.

Microsoft just look cheap for attempting to copy Apple yet again, and this time with such speed. It reeks of desperation.
