Jobs Digs Into Zune, Prefers iPod
Published by Josh Foster October 18th, 2006 in Tech.Steve Jobs prefers iPod to Zune
There is no love lost when it comes to the upcoming battle between Apple’s iPod and Microsoft’s Zune. In a recent interview with Newsweek, Apple CEO Steve Jobs took time out from talking about his own handheld to get a few digs in at the Big Z.
Newsweek: Microsoft has announced its new iPod competitor, Zune. It says that this device is all about building communities. Are you worried?
Jobs: In a word, no. I’ve seen the demonstrations on the Internet about how you can find another person using a Zune and give them a song they can play three times. It takes forever. By the time you’ve gone through all that, the girl’s got up and left! You’re much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear. Then you’re connected with about two feet of headphone cable.
We’re not quite sure about why he used an analogy about picking up women in this scenario or what the ramifications of sharing earbuds are. But we’ll let you know the second we figure it out.

I could swap a song faster than he could wipe the wax off his earbud.
