Colbert's top threat of the week: killer iPhones. Solution: buy a Zune.

Of course, it all seems so obvious now! How did we not interpret El Jobso's true meaning of the iPhone kill-switch -- it actually kills you. We have noted iPhone expert Stephen Colbert to thank not just for this brilliant deduction, but also for sticking up for the lot of us and giving the iPhone 3G a cold staredown -- but not before declaring, "I knew I should have gotten a Zune! They can't kill me... or do anything else." Zing! Clip after the break (iPhone at 5:45).

[Thanks, Matt]

Okay, I'm normally one to get more annoyed with the "ZOMG, NOT ANOTHER IPHONE POST!" comment drag than the posts themselves...but this time I couldn't help but chime in.

Really guys? This is blogworthy stuff right here? I think not.

That was funny. Great post considering Sat and Sunday are the slowest Engadget news days, any news is good news I say

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 16th 2008 3:49AM]

Yeah true, nothing intresting happens on weekends so any type of news would entertain us.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 16th 2008 1:25AM]

This was insanely funning, Colbert is the best and i deactivated my killSwitch right after

[DiGiC Posted Aug 16th 2008 6:02AM]

Brilliant twist, had a good laugh at that :)

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 16th 2008 6:45AM]

That was funnier than I was expecting.

I feel bad for Jim.
It clearly takes more of his "energy" to think than it does to type

I knew there was a certain level of Zune-hate missing from engadget lately. Go ahead boys and girls, cuddle your iPods and iPhone's to sleep.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 16th 2008 1:50PM]

is there a reason for jelousy?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 16th 2008 2:29PM]

Learn how to spell you moron. I guess the Air Force will take anyone these days, lol. HAHAHAHA

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 16th 2008 4:26PM]

you seem lonely and rather desperate, seeing as you've made 27 posts in one day, and none of them are more than attempted put-downs that make you sound like you're twelve.

grow up, seriously.

or at least make some jokes that are funny.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 16th 2008 3:22PM]

Yep. My Zune does nothing all right. As I'm listening to the radio while syncing without any wires (wirelessly isn't a word I just discovered), you can all be killed by your iPods :P

I like the zune...
