My 3000th Post. Microsoft Zune. Will you get one?

[Quicksilver]

Who's gonna one of the first to get one?? Interesting concept regarding song sharing.

Zune users can send full-length tracks of select songs, homemade recordings or photos to other Zune players via the device's Wi-Fi. The shared songs can be heard up to three times over three days. Should a user like a song a friend has shared, the song can be flagged and later can be purchased from the Zune Marketplace. Not every song will be available to swap however, Erickson said. Artists can opt out, but fans will have access to the vast majority of titles, he added.

Finally Zune falls short in two areas, It won't be ready to offer video in time for the holidays and Zune users can't access the music service from the device itself, which will hamper people from making impulse buys.

So what do X5world members think about the new device?

Microsoft hopes to sell Zune using brown, not green. Microsoft does hope some iPod users will become Zune buyers, but it has no plans to bribe them.

Rumors that the company would pay to replace a user's iTunes store purchases with Zune-compatible tracks are not true, Microsoft said Thursday.
