Imagine the still-not-released Netgear Skype phone With buildin iPod!

Throw everything including the kitchen sink at a product and hope that something will catch on.

I do agree that more features is good. But isn’t it aiming for too much with a first gen product?

I thought you would appreciate this little photo of the product.

Seriously, I think that MS has an uphill battle to give this thing the mindshare that the iPod has. At the very least, it’d better be trendy, since most people seem to think that their technology now has to be “cute”.

The product isn’t even out yet. Talk about bending over for the Borg.

The Zune will be multiple devices and not just a music player. Its a bold move. They aren’t just making a music player thats for sure.

I’m not sure about devices being optimized for one purpose. My laptop does a million things. So does my car, and my xbox 360.

When will companies learn that consumers want devices optimized for one purpose?
