i don't know
I know. That's what a lot of folks have been saying about your points for awhile now.<ducking>
FM and bigger screens have been on other MP3 players for years now and hasn't helped them out. Heck, other models have even had WiFi before. But here's hoping that those features will somehow make a difference for Microsoft none the less. There you go. Opinion and backup data all in one snide remark.![]()
you better be, opinion without data backing isn't convincing in any way.![]()
lol - there is a place for fa(x/ts) but its maily speculation.
Well, an unofficial list might be on Amazon.com's Bestsellers list, where the Zune comes in 17th amongst all MP3 players sold. I should also mention that as of right now, 11 of the items beating it are iPods of one flavor or another.

Are you calling me f(at)?
Nope.![]()
Here's the article:
Microsoft predicts 1m Zune sales
I liked WebTV before MS acquired it and killed it to maintain their browser monopoly. WebTV was good in that you didn't need a computer to get Net access, but IMO was too limited in that you couldn't run, say Java or Flash, or all those .exe files that dumb PC users threw at you (forget if there even was Flash back then). Still it would have been good to get a separate community of TV browsers, as it would have set the stage for a decent small-screen Internet (what we should have had in mobile phone pages today).Microsoft WebTV never took off.
They are just laying the PR groundwork: if the Zune manages to sell 1 million before June the headlines will trumpet "Zune Sales Exceed Expectations!"
Just you wait![]()
Terribly astute prediction. I like!
Well, well, guess who just announced they sold over 1 million units "putting it ahead of the million-unit target".

I'm sorry? 1m units in seven months is competition? Especially when it looks as if Microsoft gave a large portion of those awayThe Article said:Competing with Apple is fun
The executive noted that Microsoft has sold "a little over a million" of the 30GB players by late May, putting it ahead of the million-unit target set for June.
However, the unofficial metric I've been using (Amazon sales) has certainly seen the Zune move forward in popuhilarity of sales.
