I was showing a co-worker pictures of my kids on my Zune 30. She said: "That's not an iPod, what is it?"

Me: "It's a Microsoft Zune."

Her: "Do you like it? I'm sick of iPods. I've had three in as many years, and they keep breaking on me! I want something different that's a little more durable."

Me: "Well, this is over a year old, and as you can see, it still looks good as new. Oh, and it still works."

Her: "Yeah, that's a nice case you have on it."

Me: "That's not a case. It's just the player's casing itself. It looks like that because of a process called "double-shot." It's VERY scratch resistant, which is why it still looks new. Unlike what you might've noticed with your iPods, your fingernails alone won't scratch this!"

Her: "Yeah; I'm going to look into those when I get home."

On another instance, I was sitting next to a flight attendant dead-heading somewhere. she'd noticed I'd been watching movies on my Zune 30 the whole flight, so as we passed 10k feet and I had to put it away...

"Is that an iPod?"

Me: "No it's a Microsoft Zune."

Her: "Oh, you can put movies on it?!"

Me: "Yes. If you have a newer iPod, you can put movies on it as well."

Her: "Yes, but that has a nice, big screen."

Me: "Yes. Yes it does."
