News of the forthcoming departure of former MyTravel managing director John Bloodworth from the Thomas Cook Group raised some eyebrows. It left the merged company with not one former MyTravel face at the top.
But without impugning the departing UK and Ireland head in any way, it makes sense. After all, this is a merger in name only. Thomas Cook has taken over a previously distressed group and is incorporating those parts that complement its own. MyTravel chief executive Peter McHugh and his team have done their job, having salvaged the former UK number-two and given the banks that took control a return on their money.
It is a curious feature of the consolidation at the top of the trade that, while this merger is truly a takeover, the takeover of First Choice by TUI is truly a merger. How often is it that one company buys another and then puts its affairs in the hands of the chief executive and chief financial officer of the company it just bought?

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
