This holiday season, many electronic makers are "going after a this holiday season. iPod competitors include Creative's 20-gigabyte Zen Touch, while five-gigabyte Zen Micro hopes to take away from iPod Mini sales. Virgin, Dell, and Rio also have iPod Mini competitors.

the biggest reason competitors will sell this season is because parents couldn't find the real deal. in january creative will say they sold 2x as much this christmas season and conclude as a result that the ipod is a failure and is losing market share. yet they'll conveniently forget that half were returned to best buy the sunday after christmas.

Oh, that's so full of c***. Most people will wait until at least Monday to return them!
