The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

… at least you recycle the bit you don’t read/want.

I still buy newspapers, but only when I have a train journey to make, and only because that’s the only way to get a cryptic crossword puzzle. Such a waste. I buy the paper, take out the puzzles and recycle the rest!

The news source doesn’t even have to be on Twitter – I use regular RSS with Twitterfeed (see I’ve twitterised my blogroll.

But to answer your question, is Twitter speeding the demise of traditional news services? Yes, I think so. The simple availability of free news on the web was the start; social media is really moving it along.

Having said that, I don’t think print media will completely disappear. For example, I still enjoy reading the Sunday paper.
