With all the 24-hour coverage of Charlie Sheen it was easy to forget mentioning the demise of Microsoft’s attempt to take on the iPod. I’m surprised they finally gave up since the corporation has deep pockets thanks to the success of their motion-capture Xbox 360 accessory; finally a reason to buy the game system beyond Halo.
I may be biased due to my employer and being an iPod owner of nine years but I never got one Zune to function whenever I’d check them out at Best Buy or Target.
At least they’ll continue being useful as iPod covers/cases. Legend has it, the brown Zune is the most effective (dis)incentive to keep thieves away.
