This Just In: Microsoft's Zune is a Piece of Crap

Leave it up to Microsoft to give us too little WAY too late.

Microsoft's new Zune was supposedly going to valiantly march into the MP3 music scene boasting a huge feature list at an amazing price point - triumphing the competition. Microsoft was telling us, "There's no way you're going to be able to resist."

Well guess what, I'm resisting, and according to tech analysts, so is the rest of the world.

"Apple will not feel any bit of discomfort from Zune, certainly this holiday season and a good part of next year," said IDC analyst Danielle Levitas.

Many professionals reviewing the Zune have commented on how clunky the device is. It's unnecessarily large and weighs a good deal more than an iPod.

Sure some people will buy it, whether it's because of ignorance or just to spite Apple. But USA Today puts it best, in my opinion: "It's no iPod."
