  26. “Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.”

But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  37. The very core of your writing whilst sounding agreeable originally, did not settle well with me after some time. Someplace within the sentences you were able to make me a believer but only for a very short while. I however have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and one might do nicely to fill in all those breaks. When you can accomplish that, I could surely be impressed.

  38. Hi! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay. I’m absolutely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.

Your authoring is quite engaging and this is probably the reason why I am taking the effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, while I can notice a leaps in reasoning you come up with, I am not really confident of exactly how you seem to unite the details which produce the final result. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue however wish in the future you link your dots much better.
