Hello!
CNN reviewed the Microsoft Zune the day it was launched. It started well enough but as the talk progressed, it more or less turned into an advertisement for the legendary Apple iPod. In fact, if there would have been an Apple logo and 'Think different' at the end, it could easily have been passed off as an iPod advert! :D

Here's the original source and here is the video on YouTube.
Watch out for the last lines:
"Here, I am going to show you my new Shuffle."
"Right, so see, now THAT'S the, that's the thing that is a lot sexier than this."
"Why don't they get some decent design people that make things look better? I mean, it's clunk, it's clunky!"
"Ahhh... uh... no comment!" :lol:

He he, they just Insulted Microsoft.

wtf, Zune wont play songs downloaded from iTunes, Napster... some fierce Rivalry they got with Apple, :lol:
& if you download a song thru another Zune Player, you can play it only 3 times :shock: ???
has Zune taken Anti-Piracy measures too far.
