Microsoft Zune HD: Can it defeat Apple IPod touch ??

Zune HD review: The Zune HD is much slimmer than the current Zune 120 because it will use flash memory rather than a hard drive.

Apple iPod Outsold By Walkman In Japan For The First Time In Four Years

Sony's (SNE) Walkman digital music player outsold Apple's (AAPL) iPod in Japan for the first time since 2005, Bloomberg reports , citing numbers by electronics research firm BCN Inc.
