what the hell is it supposed to be/do? is it just a tuner or does it have mp3 (probably wma *shudder*) capabilities? earphones? speaker?
It doesn't do much at all! It's basically just a tuner with a headphone socket. I guess I should've mentioned that in the original post, how stupid of me 🙄
Edit: Oh, and it's got a built-in "mini torch" which is only bright enough to reach about 15 cm.

Why would you buy that when a) Everyone who listens to on the go music, other than in a car, knows that radio sucks no matter what city you live in. b) you can buy a 20 dollar CD player with a radio tuner?
Microshaft focuses on the SCHEDULE to get the product out, not the actual product. 🙂

Maybe some day i'll understand their logic...
HAHA...when i first looked at the top picture i thought it had been photoshopped as a parody🙂 Then i saw the second picture....oh man.

Re: Microsoft's iPod Competitor! er...right.
Wow what a stupid thread. Seriously. This is right up there with boxers vs. briefs.
I mean did it occur to ANYONE here that this is a cheap promotional gift?!?!? (Upon further reading of the thread I see that there are a few people that have the old synapses firing.)
Microsoft gives this crap away for free all the time. THINK for a second. Why would Microsoft put the Office logo on a radio it was going to sell?!?! In fact why would MS even bother to sell a radio to begin with?!?! Answer: They wouldn't.
Critical thinking people. Try it out one of these days. 🙄

Shouldn't that image read "stoned" instead of "owned"? 😉

Heheh. I have other "owned" pictures. I was thinking of posting the one with the giant ore hauler crushing the Ford pickup. 😉

No prob. That's what the 😉 emoticon is for. 😀
As in I've heard Palm is buying Microsoft and Apple is buying Palm 😉
