Despite the fact that the Zune has sold over a million units, it’s still not considered to be that popular. I’ve known a few people to own one, and all of them have either gotten rid of them, or tried to get rid of them. Perhaps they’ll do better with Zune 2.0?
The latest word from Microsoft is that we’ll see a new incarnation of the Zune sometime around the holiday season. It’s possible that we might see different sizes, styles and price points (I’m thinking iPod, iPod nano and shuffle here). They’re also wanting to build on features like video and podcasting so they can compete more with the iPod, while also building on the wireless and FM tuner that lets it stand apart.
They also mentioned that they want to expand their footprint into international markets, but only when they’re good and ready to do so. Now that they’ve let the word out about a new Zune, I’m sure we’ll be hearing more details before the holiday season.

I’m going to dump my 60g viedo ipod for this new Zune.
Zune? LOL! If you think this thing has sold 1m. copies, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale…
The zune has disappeared without trace in the real world, and its just a matter of time before someone notices it isnt actually on sale anywhere.
As for dumping an iPod for a zune – please go and talk to a counsellor.
M$oft is in decline – the world of M$oft is fading fast – expect it to be almost gone in 5 years.
You cant keep throwing billions at crappy money-losing products, never come up with any good ideas of your own and expect to survive.
@Harry If you think that Microsoft is going anywhere in the next 5 years… Then maybe you need to buy that bridge.
who knew that there’d be a fanboy commenting on an article where apple and Microsoft are involved?
As for the Zune 2, awesome. As long as they dont do something dumb like lose the wireless feature. I freaking love not having to find my damn sync cable.
the bridge thing was t.i.
it looks ok but im still thinking
