I've been hearing some negative things about Microsofts "Ipod killer" so I decided to take a look for myself. This thing is amazing! So it's a little big, it is the ability to play any music format that got my attention. No more dam I-tunes! It also plays wmv music and video,and a few other video formats, has something like 40gb, and a price everyone can love. $250.
So, will it sink or float?

I think it might just float. Its a great idea. Becasues i-Pod is going around like there the best mp3 player in the world now Microsoft is giving them a run for there money. My friend is already getting one for Christmass. Ill get one when I get a better paying Job.
Who agrees with Halidar and I that we should suport The Microsoft ZUNE. Because the ZUNE might level the playing feeld between all the mp3 players.
Right now there is i-Pod, Sony, 3rd Party, & and Crapy
If the ZUNE dose well then it will be i-Pod, Zune, Sony and 3rd party and Crapy will be in the same boat so ever thing will work out. Thats why I like the ZUNE.
The iPod is dying. MP3 players are dying. Why carry an iPod when you can download, store, and play back mp3's as well as watch TV on your phone?

Thats why Apple is making the "IPhone". Anything to try and stay on top. Still, I think the zune has the chance to refresh the market. It has a lot of features you can't get on a phone.

I used to always champion the combining of cell phones and mp3 players, but lately I've been thinking, while most people carry around the same iPod for a number of years, people change their cell phone about every two years, sometimes less. I believe the trend to follow now is Blackberry, they're working to create the ultimate phone, i think their first attempt is the Pearl. Makes sense, since most cell phones these days are just trying to become the ultimate PDA anyway.

You know when the zombie war comes, none of this will really matter.

Unless you use an Apple Newton. It is heavy and brick-like and perfect for chucking at a zombie's head.

It's a great machine. Microsoft obviously put tons of time and effort into this thing, and it shows with the scratch-resistant screen and all the other cool features it has. But something about this thing...something in the back of my head tells me that this thing just won't do as well as iPod. I don't know why, but that's what I feel.
