Apple's keenness to get HBO on board maybe in part influenced by that recent news that NBC, having withdrawn its content from iTunes, had done a deal with Microsoft's Zune Marketplace. The Zune player is still very much a minority device, though it has now passed the 2 million players sold mark, and has a reported 4% of the US MP3 player market, so it is slowly growing in significance. Though the iPod still has 71% of the market, while SanDisk have 11%, so it is still someway off being even second.
