This guy is really getting on my nerves...
| My old buddy Mr. Hoo (2 C who Hoo is please see this post) is starting his "war".
According to this article (there are many more out there for corroboration) Creative staged an iPod swap, in which he offered to exchange your old iPod for a new Zen Micro. |

| It was so popular that, eventhough the promotion was only run in Singapore there were a whopping 20 people who were willing to part with their old iPod and get a new Creative product.
Apparently, this massive crowd was not only enticed by the ability to trade in their four year old iPod with a dead battery for a brand new Zen Micro (I can garauntee they will all be hocked for money to buy iPod socks), but also for the ultra-hip customization Creative added. While Apple is getting promotional help from the likes of one of the most influential bands of our time, having the back of the new U2 iPod laser engraved with the band member's signatures, the Creative guys are giving away players with a laser engraved signature as well - guess who Creative had sign their player.... well, 'who' is the question and 'Hoo' is the answer. He signed them himself. Now that's modesty, folks. |
