As I progress through these blogs, you will find that I have not the income, nor the need for social status to own Apple products. This has led me to search out alternatives to the main stream products. So instead of an iPod, I purchased a Zune instead. Even though Microsoft has ceased production on the players, the software still exists for the Xbox 360 and the Windows smartphones. I would like to think that getting all my devices so that they integrate with each other was part of a master plan, but it was more like I purchased the devices and the became integrated over time. When I started using the Zune service, it was not integrated with the Xbox 360. Now that it is, everything feels like it was made for each other. I can take the movies I rent or purchase on the Xbox and put them on my Zune player or Windows phone and take them on the go. The best part of the Zune service is you can pay a $15 a month subscription fee and have unlimited downloads, the only draw back being that if you cancel the service, you lose the songs that you didn't purchase. I have used the Zune service for 4 years now and I don't miss iTunes at all. In fact, I think I enjoy not having to ride the bandwagon like everyone else.
