I have seen a zune thanks to workmates from our US branch and thought it was great. At that time it was suppose to rule the world...according to some, and then the Zune phones?
Funny enough on a flight to somewhere I can't recall last year there were Zunes advertised on the planes and I considered getting one.
The truth is it stood no chance in a competitive market where almost every electronics company were producing - if not quite the same - mp3 players. Apple always had the advantage being the first to go mainstream and ipod became a household name. It is not like consoles where they are only two other competitors and MS with it's trillions can grab a foothold.
It's sad but a reminder to those who think that MS (or any company) is invincible and shows that money can't buy everything.
They thought that simply releasing a product and throwing money at it equals success.
