Zune because Microsoft has decided to make Zune into a software only application/purchasing platform that is integrated into windows environment rather then a stand alone music player.They won't because a good portion of the billions they make each year comes through their app store and people having to fork over money whenever they get something on their iDevice or through the app itself.However, it should be noted that alternate stores do exist... though some only if you jail brake the iDevice.  But even then, Apple likes to cease and desist when they see something from a major player that breaks their "rules".  For instance apple just forced Toyota to close an app they have been propagating on iJailBroken stores and alternate sources because it was essential an ad for scion which didn't go through iAd.  I bet they also threatened to kick Toyota (and the adfirm) out of the walled garden if they didn't pull the app, which Toyota did.  So yeah... apple became their 1984 superbowl ad's "evil computing empire."From what I could tell, the SD card really exists for those times when you are far from a network that you can sync through or have not paid for the ability to use your phones wireless hot spot or have not rooted/jailbroken your phone so you could use the hotspot without your carrier butting in.</blockquote>
