Well it seems that brown certainly isn’t the new white (How not to be an iPod) and that Apple’s got little more to worry about than losing time to giggling staffers and tech writers taking shots at MS’s re-enforced dorky image. Zune isn’t firing up the sales charts, it sits at Amazon’s 23rd position. For all it’s features, it’s just not user friendly and it’s absolutely limited by it’s DRM (Wired and again) that is even causing grief with Creative Commons songs. Though there are some that think that just because the Zune is being held against the iPod, that it is not looking so hot. Wired (again) quotes DVD Jon as saying that even though Zune’s got a few quirks, it’s not that bad.
With MS being the underdog again (first with the XBOX), there is likely going to be quite a bit of play for this story.
OK so I went a little link happy today.
