Tells the BBC that Microsoft’s “Zune” iPod-killer will be aimed at artists, musicians, and other content creators, as though the iPod and other Apple products somehow aren’t. This is like saying Microsoft will have an advantage because its Zune players will be white and Apple’s iPods aren’t.

Runner-up for Jackass of the Week: the unbylined author of this BBC article, who described Enderle as a “respected analyst” — Enderle is respected by no one other than hack tech reporters.
