		<description>Hands down, Apple&#039;s app store wins by a mile. It&#039;s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I&#039;m not sure I&#039;d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.</description>

		<description>To me, Starbucks is such an unusual brand: it&#039;s the corporate extreme of a service / experience (aka cafe culture) I tend to appreciate locally, but distrust commercially.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think their continued success despite the occasional stumble has more to do with the public&#039;s desire to see them succeed than with any bulletproof business strategy they&#039;re presumed to employ.  Good customer service definitely helps mitigate any anti-corporate distrust, but when it comes down to it, while I&#039;d rather see a local cafe on the corner than a Starbucks, I&#039;d still rather see a Starbucks there than a McDonald&#039;s, KFC or Cold Stone.</description>
