Well, I'd say it was more a lack of money that led to its inevitable "failure." People want lots of apps, whether or not they cost money, they want apps for their electronic devices. When it seems like every month or two, Microsoft just randomly releases 1 or 2 new apps for the zune hd, I think one person working part time could make all of the apps that come out for the device.
I mean, the device has the ability to be a beast, and the 32 gb is $100 cheaper than the similar sized 32 gb ipod touch...$100!!!
I really do think if they could even boast that there are hundreds of apps, or just over 1000 apps or something, it would have sold a lot better, as I've heard on numerous occasions the complaint that there are no apps, and people would gladly pay $100 more for the ipod so they can get the apps.
Also thought I'd ask, does anybody know the validity to the zune apps that you can download off of random websites that people made, but Microsoft decides they don't want the people to release the apps in their stores.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
