Well it’s official – at a price of $249.99, the Zune digital music player via Microsoft will be at exactly 99 cents more than the (same capacity) 30GB iPod from Apple.
Sure, some may complain about the Zune’s higher price point, but others say that it’s well worth the added cost. The extra buck buys you 2 radios (FM and Wi-Fi), a larger screen (3-inch versus 2.5), two dozen items of pre-loaded content, the option of brown, and simply put, more product (158 grams versus 136 grams for the iPod).

A 99-cent price increase is my kind of price increase.
The option of brown alone is probably worth the extra dollar.
