Wow, I'm surprised it even lasted this long, never seemed to find a niche... I honestly don't know a single person who owns one. Shame as the os actually looked pretty good.
Microsoft Kills the Zune
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
That's a plumb shame. I owned a few Zunes. all broke down for one reason or another. The software was incredibly restrictive. And it's functions weren't as good as they could have been. I own a sony walkman and it's much better than a Zune. I think being like the Ipod was it's first mistake it should have just been a really good MP3 player.
I'm quite fond of my zune, actually, and this one hasn't broken like my first two ipods, or been stolen like my most frequent one. 
At least I'll still be able to replace this one if it does meet an unfortunate end.

The Zune is still around? I thought they canned that thing a long time ago, well this is news to me.
You didn't hear? Anyone who calls someone else a "sheep" pejoratively is immediately disregarded in every matter, ever.Bags159 said:
Seriously, stop it.
At least they're not stopping production, I refuse to buy an Ipod (Or any other Apple product for that matter)
Wow, I was just thinking about getting a Zune HD. The reviewers on Amazon really seemed to like it...
You can probably blame the Zune for the fact that they are seen as the only large competition. Every market Microsoft muscles themselves into, everyone except them and their biggest competition tends to be ignored by the media. The Walkman, Zen, Sansa, and iRiver brands are still around, but as soon as a "big name" like Microsoft announced they were making an iPod clone, it became "iPod vs. Zune". It didn't help that during the 2008 election, Obama owned a Zune and McCain owned an iPod, which the media milked another week's worth of manufactured commentary out of.Gxas said:
Yeah, you do realize Apple is never gonna go for that, right? That'd be like asking Microsoft to release their software for the Mac... oh wait, they do. Even Windows works on it. OK, then it'd be like asking Apple to release their software for Windows. There we go. Man, I never thought I'd see the day when Microsoft has a more reasonable business model than... well, anyone.HentMas said:
Yeah. Zune is still going to be the music store for Windows Phone, just like how the iPhone uses iTunes.Jonny1188 said:So is there at least gonna be new music releases in the marketplace? I love my Zune HD, I don't want it to be worthless now
I just recently switched providers and got an iPhone. I only have the Coheed and Cambria discography on the phone. Everything else is on the iPod. 30+ gigs of music fits much better on a device that only holds music, rather than a device that shares storage space with contacts/applications/etc.bahumat42 said:
