ALTEC LANSING M604 ZUNE DOCK COULD HELP ZUNE COMPETE WITH iPOD

So what is a fledgling MP3 to do to get a foothold in the iPod dominated world?  Well, for starters, the makers of a competitive MP3 player can either produce–or hope that someone else produces–compatible products improve the MP3 player’s marketability.  This is exactly the good fortune that has befallen the maker of the Zune with the arrival of the Altec Lansing M604 Zune Dock. 

Out of the box, Altec Lansing M604 Zune Dock features high-definition audio, digital amplification from four speakers, XdB bass-enhancement technology that creates a very deep bass (especially considering the size of the unit), wireless remote control, table or wall mount capabilities, video output for playing Zune videos on most televisions, and universal compatibility with other MP3 players.  Additionally, the Altec Lansing M604 Zune Dock allows for data transfer during recharging. 

Perhaps the most attractive feature of the Altec Lansing M604 Zune Dock is its recent price drop.  Just in time for the holiday shopping blitz, www.woot.com is offering the Altec Lansing M604 Zune Dock as its deal of the day for only $39.99 (plus $5 shipping).  This is amazing considering the Altec Lansing M604 Zune Dock’s original pricing: $200.  Even traditional retailers are offering steep discounts on the unit.  www.amazon.com is offering the Altec Lansing M604 Zune Dock for $99.99. 

While gadgets will undoubtedly lead the holiday gift buying, many consumers are choosing to give the gift of a great experience rather than some electronic gizmo.  For example, many holiday shoppers are purchasing vacation packages, hot air balloon rides, or exotic car tours for their loved ones. 

If your list includes a car enthusiast, you may wish to consider an exotic car tour. Exotic car tours place an enthusiast in the drivers seat of several of the most desirable cars in the world during a single day of pure driving pleasure.

Think Ferrari f430, Lamboghini Gallardo, Aston Martin, Bentley GTC!   These tours typically last 7-8 hours and cover 200 miles of open road on a route selected for scenic beauty and driving pleasure. These new tours are available in many major metropolitan areas. In Dallas, holiday shoppers can find great full day exotic tours from DFW Drive Your Dream (www.dfwdriveyourdream.com).  Additionally, they offer participants a choice of four different tours and even have a special tour designed for couples who love luxury cars.

For a longer term exotic car experience, some lucky loved ones will find exotic car club memberships in their stockings.  www.exoticcarclubs.com is an excellent nationwide directory of fractional ownership and exotic car sharing clubs.  DFW Elite Car Club (www.dfwelitecarclub.com) in Dallas/Ft. Worth offers its members the keys to a garage of over forty classic, luxury and exotic cars.

For short term exotic car fix, look into renting a Porsche in Dallas for a day or two.  www.rentexoticcars.net offers a listing of exotic car rental businesses across the nation.  One of these organizations, DFW Elite Auto Rental (www.dfweliteautorental.com) offers a huge assortment of luxury, sports, and even armored cars.  Additionally, all reservations can be booked online and the Dallas company offers internet exotic car rental specials that change daily.
