this seems like a nice complement to that little flashing box in the corner of my MOG, that has had me wondering - what IS a zune?
got this directly from wanbli's MOG :
""Read the full article by Andy Ihnatko in the Chicago Sun Times Here
He hits the nail SQUARE on the head in this.
Some good quotes:
“Yes, Microsoft’s new Zune digital music player is just plain dreadful.”
””Avoid,” is my general message. The Zune is a square wheel, a product that’s so absurd and so obviously immune to success that it evokes something akin to a sense of pity.”
“a kickback(to the music industry) on every player sold.”
“Throw in the Zune’s tail-wagging relationship with music publishers, and it almost becomes important that you encourage people not to buy one.”
“Result: The Zune will be dead and gone within six months. Good riddance.”"
thanks to wanbli for compiling this excerpt from the article!
i also like the part about how the zune cannot read podcasts, and is not compatible with the Windows Media Player. so what is the point then? a microsoft mp3 player that cannot work with microsoft's main music and video interface?
why would anyone with a PC want a zune? why would anyone else? why is anybody marketing it? do they not see how incredibly useless that it is?
just wondering. if anyone has a zune and wants to comment on how misled i am, feel free. i'm not fond of ipod either, don't own one. if i indulge in one of these little addixions, i'm going to hold out for the creative zen i guess. right now i really don't care to own one.
