@Victor Aguilar

Hey, how about some punctuation. If you’d like, I can spare a period or three; probably get you a comma, too.

Wow, you are not very bright are you. Already selling your Touch BEFORE the Zune HD is even available. Stupid is as stupid does.

Say what you want about it – but I actually like it. I’m selling my iPod touch as we speak. The Zune HD interface makes the Ipod touch look cluttered and boring

Yes, it is built on WinCE 6, wah! There are adapters for the iPod that give you FM, wah!
MS is always 2-3 years behind the curve. The main reason is it is too big and cannot be nimble enough to make changes rapidly. So we will see an iPod killer from MS around 2010 or 2011.

Here we go again… Yet more tedious and predictable bitching about Microsoft. How old are you guys?

Based on WinCE? Or running it?
They announced no app/game story, right? Which makes them competing with the iPod Touch of 2007, when it was about the hardware and being a media player.

The iPod killer has already been shipped. It’s called the iPhone.

But hey MS you’ve got managers and business plans and technology and stuff. And plenty of fanboys to make it sound like your preannouncements actually matter.

Isn’t article titles with “ipod killer” in it getting a little old and tiresome? Come on, get creative!

Say what you will about the new Zune, but I wish my iPhone had a FM tuner and offered a music subscription service. I listen to a lot of music and currently have a Rhapsody account so that I can listen to artists/albums that I’m not familiar with and figure out what is worth buying. And when I get bored I listen to the radio for something different (i,e, NPR). Hopefully this increased competition will get me one of two of these features for my iPhone.

I have to say I’m surprised though that Microsoft did not announce games for the Zune through the Xbox arcade today at E3. That seems like an obvious move on their part since it would add a ton of value to the Zune. And MXS, it’s the business model that has game consoles (Wii excluded since it’s based on old hardware) lose money on the hardware and then make their profit on the software and peripherals, kind of like how AT&T loses money on every iPhone they sell but make it up with the subscription.

All this article really needed was a photo of the Zune HD and the tagline “Ha ha ha ha ha!”

And he forgot to also say that the “Premier gaming console” is only premier as long as MS will keep loosing money on every single one they sell ….. LOL

Anyways, the article was talking about iPod if you didn’t noticed, so why do you bring up here consoles? This might be appropriate when Apple makes one …
