Would You Be Happy If Your White Zune Player Turned PINK?!?
100 bewildered Zune Player owners are going to get the shock of their lives this Christmas. They’ll unwrap their brand new Zune Player, expecting to see a new, gleaming white MP4 player. Unfortunately though their excitement will turn to angst rather quickly – their beautiful new Zune player will be shocking PINK!
Microsoft have pulled off an impressive publicity this Christmas by ‘hiding’ 100 numbered pink Zune players in packaging that doesn’t make their contents obvious.
This story is racing round the net. But why PINK Microsoft???!!!

The Zune Player has a lot going for it. Namely Microsoft. However, most reviews in aren’t good. So what’s wrong with it?
The following 10 Things Wrong With The Zune Player is taken from Zune: So You Want To Be An iPod Killer.
1) Hardware issues. It’s is a little too bulky and heavy
2) It’s fake click wheel is really just a cheap plastic rocker switch
3) Wi-Fi is nice, but you can’t connect to anything but another Zune
4) It only works with Windows XP
5) It is incompatible with common media formats such as DivX
6) It plays movies, but you can’t buy them from the Zune Marketplace
7) It isn’t ready for podcasting
8) The software installation process needs a lot of work
9) Some features are too hard to find and not well designed
10) It stops playing current music during Wi-Fi, peer-to-peer music transfer
Can anyone add to the list?!?

Zune Player owner Jason Chen brought a smile to my face this morning when he talked about the life of a lonely Zune player owner.
He’s been using the roming Zune function that lets you search for other Zune Player owners and then swap tracks with each other. One problem. He couldn’t find one other Zune owner!
Better luck in the future, Jason!

As discussed back in June in MP3 News Microsoft’s planned iPod killer - The Zune - is due for release in the States on November 14. Just in time for the holiday season!
However, as mentioned in MP4 Soup on October 25, iPod aren’t scared about loosing their market share. “It takes forever,” Apple Co-Founder Steve Jobs told Newsweek in an interview when discussing the introduction of a newbrand into a market.
So should Apple be scared? Possibly. If anything, it might be positive for consumers. Greater competition should at least motivate Apple to increase their iPod functions and reduce their prices. That’s the theory anyway.
