Jobs on whether the Zune is a “worthy alternative”

Steve and his Zune

When Microsoft announced the new Zune’s back in November, Microsoft’s Robbie Bach made a comment that finally, the Zune was “a worthy alternative” to the iPod. Steve Jobs was questioned about that comment by an interviewer this week at Macworld. The response was very unexpected. Some may even say it was harsh.

“Was he inebriated?” Jobs asked CNBC reporter Jim Goldman, and then continued with, “Do you even know anyone who owns a Zune?”

Funny, I don’t know anyone who owns a Zune. Last summer when I went on a trip, I saw one man in an airport with one, and stared at it as if it was a relic. Obviously, Steve Jobs doesn’t even consider the Zune a worthy alternative, and is having a good laugh in Cupertino while the guys in Redmond are welcoming people to the social.
