Turns out the Zunegate hype about Obama being a Zune fan may have been unwarranted.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Obama’s officially an iPod fan:

Yesterday the Philadelphia City Paper ignited a controversy over the question, with a blog entry that included the innocuous detail that the President-elect was working out while listening to the Microsoft (not Apple!) music player.

But today a spokesman puts the vicious rumor to rest. “Not true, the President-elect uses an iPod,” he says.

Will it end there?

Or could the official story just be a cover up?
