So I had an opportunity to fiddle with a Zune today at office max while I was getting a new computer chair. It’s an interesting player but in all honesty I’d rather have an iPod or Zen. The Zune just has a lot of restrictions that don’t make any sense if they’re honestly trying to gain market share with this player… I choose to look at this player like most Microsoft early releases… horrible and will get better in revisions. Think about it… 98 was bad… 98SE wasn’t to bad comparatively. IE3/4 was *horrible*, IE5 was a Netscape killer. The XBOX was pretty lackluster but the 360 is truly a beast. I expect the Zune will be a similar product… right now it’s weak but in the future it has some potential. They really need to get some marketing people and techies working on that project pronto though.
Edit: Aszurom sent me this picture for this post… rofl.
