Zune

[gabe]

What do TV members think about the new Microsoft Zune(mp3 player)?

Are any TV members planning to buy a Microsoft Zune(mp3 player) in Thailand?

Does anyone know if the Microsoft Zune(mp3 player) will be available for sale in Thailand at all?

Initial reviews are not very flattering. One prominent computer critic has already labeled Zune, "The #1 Flop of 2007".

I'd wait a bit for more reviews.

Zune- Good idea made unreasonably complicated and doomed to fail.

Better off with a Zen. The only decent player with widescreen video. Apple's still playing catch-up with that.

Maybe a "catch-up" like this might be nice next month?

So long as the photo of Steve Jobs can be removed.

Smart move as I think mp3 phones are a far bigger threat to iPod than Zune or Zen ever could be.

Lovely man Steve..... forever photogenic

It's odd but, a mobile phone with mp3 capabilities has never really interested me..... but an iPod that you can use as a phone does.... strange.

If a phone had the storage capacity and ease of use of an Ipod it would be appealing.

I just saw an commercial for Sony/Ericssons latest phone, a whopping 8 gigabyte phone that is !

Looks kinda sexy too.

I think in this release they really put the emphasis on the listening experience.

I to think the phone/mp3 player combo is a winning combination.

At least here in Thailand, how many has an Ipod compared to a phone...

Don't expect 30 gig HD storage in a form factor like the iPhone graphics above. That would make the phone too bulky. Rumour is that Apple's iPhone will come in 4GB and 8 GB versions.

Oh, and here is a preliminary design from Microsoft's MP3/mobile phone combo...their Apple iPhone Killer project has been code named "Phune".
