Typical ZDNet spin
Everyone has an iPod and some folks have three.

Great for Apple, terrible for everybody else.
A saturated market is bad for Apple's competitors even more because they've not
sold gadgets even nearly as much.

How's Zune doin' these days?
Ah, right, Microsoft just has a tiny fraction of the business Apple has.

I think the real angst is with you, living in the Microsoft IT echo system.
Apple is simply too successful and it worries you like nothing else.
