Obama Not a Zune User After All

Of all the nasty rumors President Elect Obama could have faced in the weeks leading up to his taking office, the most attention-grabbing seems to have centered on his choice of MP3 player. The Web lit up with commentary this week after one reporter claimed to have seen Obama with a Microsoft Zune.

The yarn began on Wednesday when Neil Santos, a reporter for Philadelphia City Paper, reported in his blog that he had seen Obama at the gym using none other than a Microsoft Zune. Tech blogs and even traditional outlets like The Washington Post leapt onto Obama’s fashion faux pas, and the seeming contradiction of a known Apple fan using a Zune.

Obama’s own press team actually stepped in to clarify the situation on Thursday, telling the Wall Street Journal, “Not true, the President-elect uses an iPod,”  sending waves of reassurance across hordes of Apple fans.

Santos stands by his assertion that he saw a Zune, but did clarify in a follow-up that it might not have belonged to Obama after all.
