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

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 unwraps Zune for holiday season. http://news.com.com/Microsoft+unwrap...16.html?tag=nl

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.

I guess the new trend in post milestones is anticlimactic. Too bad.

Confetti everywhere.

I am possibly the only troglodyte, here on this board,
to not yet own an IPod-type gizmo...

I'm working on my 4,000th post, being unemployed, with
time on my hands.

I think I will try and cook something up for my 4K blather.

(I, I, I..."I" gotta come up with a different first personal singular pronoun.)

I still use my single play CD in the X and the Vette...

I pulled out my old Aiwa "high quality", portable cassette player
with ear buds, for a spin on the old Honda Hurricane, the other day!

Nope, you're in good company. I've yet to join the mobile-compressed-audio-ear-budded crowd.

No, I haven't bought one for my 6 year old yet Barry.

We've got most of them already. She bored with them because they're too easy. Thanks anyway.
