I get frustrated reading most of the blogs in tech site, the figures are clear but they are able to twist it so that Zune would still come as a loser. And fanboi's really enjoy this kind of stuff....

If Apple keeps losing a point and Zune keeps gaining, that means it will take 34 years for the Zune to overtake Apple (and they would never overtake Sandisk, who also gained a point.) It's really misleading to talk of a 33% gain. There was a 1% gain in market share, not a 33% gain. Market share is itself a percentage. Secondly, these numbers are not discrete enough to determine if it was merely a rounding anomaly (i.e., share last year could have been 2.4 and this year 2.6, and those numbers would still have been the same.) Also, NPD's figures do not count iPods sold in Apple Stores. So, I'm thinking that not getting all that excited about this news is the right call. It is good for the Zune, but it's not gangbusters.
