Barack Obama Uses a Zune

Barack Obama has applied his bipartisan approach to his choice of gadgets. It's well known that the President-Elect is a dedicated Crackberry addict, and the fact that he uses a Mac notebook leads us to expect he'd team it up with an iPod. But, according to Neal Santos of the Philadelphia City Paper, when Obama hits the gym, he uses a Zune.

Santos was working out when Obama and team turned up for a spot of morning exercise. Although too stunned to take a photo, his hardened gadget instincts enabled him to identify the Microsoft music player within its dark protective case. In an update to his original Zune Gate post, Santos clarifies:

I don't know for sure that it was his. It could belong to one of the many Secret Service dudes that were at the gym, Michelle, or even one of his daughters.

Now, of course, all we need to know is just what was Obama listening to? We'll start the guessing: Guns N' Roses' execrable new album, Chinese Democracy.
