Excerpt -

By coincidence i got my hands early on an Microsoft Zune, bought as a regular customer at BestBuy in Union City Landing shopping centre.

They dont seem to care that the release day is next tuesday. They werent displayed in the store itself but i asked a salesmen if i could pre order a Zune. Then he told me they were already in and he could sell one to me. And so he did:

I read that a bit, and my first thought was maybe Microsoft's web site installer isn't ready yet, because they weren't supposed to be on sale yet....

Or maybe it's just typical MS, and they'll fix it with the software upgrade next month..

Too bad they had installation problems. I'd like to know how they like it.

> W.. is a "Zune",

I think it's something that will drain the profits and the bull$hit out of the iPod market ... but nothing can take the dope smoking foolishness out of a Mac snob ...

Does it have a radio or have the MS people ripped off Apple instead of Creative Labs?

So maybe you could buy several Zunes now to give to your friends over the winter holidays.

It does have a radio - and a larger screen and wireless connectivity - but no scroll wheel.
