Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are. I think you’re leaving a comment on the wrong blog item, Hanken, this has bugger-all to do with Zunes! If your intention was to leave a spam comment, here’s a wee tip - remember to add a link to your post………… Not that I would have included it anyway! BM

Very good blog, Thanks for sharing! Just discovered this inspiring quote and wish to share - “Success is 99 percent failure.” Have a wonderful day! Thanks Emma, I have a quote for you as well - “Stop trying to spam my blog you moronic spam bastard!” Attributed to the Big Man, this morning.

“hello,
This is about online payment.There is a massive change underway in the mobile media market as it becomes unshackled from the operators’ portals that have dominated it for a decade, all without having made any significant inroads into the content use of mobile users. The new capped data packages, fuelled by further competition, will see a total revamp of the mobile media market. It will no longer be based on portals but on direct services by content and services providers via open source phones and mobile-friendly Internet-based services. The next step is the continued emergence of m-commerce and in particular m-payment services.
