Reminds me of the "Start Something" ads MS did. Turns out all the pretty graphics and animation in the campaign (which ostensibly showed how creative you could be with Windows) were made by an Agency using Macs, as someone discovered through meta tags.]]>Sep 14th 2006 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/Sep 14th 2006 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/Two days after the new iPods, hmm.]]>Sep 14th 2006 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/Sep 14th 2006 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/Sep 14th 2006 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/Sep 14th 2006 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/Sep 14th 2006 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/

I am keeping an eye on Zune, but they must come down in price before I jump in.

What draws me in is Zune's focus on artists and community... unfortunutely many people would forgo that element only to concentrate on style and status. I'm really curious about the social networking aspect that Zune allegedely has.

Interesting times.

Actually, WMP's huge UI scrolling letter is simply a pop-up marker that shows what the first letter of the song/artist/title is that you're looking at. The letters on Apple are shortcuts to the song/artist/title. They're completely different. WMP's is a reference point, Apple's is a utility.]]>Sep 14th 2006 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/

As far as the meaning of the burning bird setting the other on fire I thought 'song sharing' when I saw it. In other words passing the song to the other bird. But hey, it only has meaning if you give it one.

I'm totally buying one now. I'm going to put on a black turtleneck and run down market street screaming ZUNE YEAH YEAH ZUNE BAYYAYBY.]]>Sep 14th 2006 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/
Wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing lets consumers spontaneously share full-length sample tracks of select songs, homemade recordings, playlists or pictures with friends between Zune devices.
Listen to the full track of any song you receive up to three times over three days.
If you like a song you hear and want to buy it, you can flag it for purchase from the Zune Marketplace.

At Zune Marketplace you can choose to purchase tracks individually or to buy a Zune Pass subscription to download as many songs as you want for a flat fee.

It's looking bright.

anyone see the brown color? who the hell wants a brown music player? that is just ugly. The black looks good though.]]>Sep 14th 2006 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/
Same people who like those brown phones I guess. At any rate I'm there if d&d is a feature. I've been reluctant to buy a new DAP waiting for one that doesn't force me into their particular software.

See you on Market St. Doc. You are going to wear more than a turtleneck, right?]]>Sep 14th 2006 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/14/coming-zune-as-in-today/It's a nice change from shadowed people dancing.

They did a blip with the Zune on CNBC, saying that Apple ownes 75% of the market, but because of the music service (mostly).
If MS can get this player to become attractive, and create a top notch music service, I think they can bring down the Apple empire, or at least put a large dent in it's pretty image.
As a side note, they also showed the sneaky sandisk e200 taking a bite of the pie, gaining a small %
I've been in between on the e280, and the Zune, so let's see how it plays out.

The big bird is an iPod...the little one a Zune. The little one comes along and burns up the big old iPod. Then the big old iPod rises like a phoenix and burns up the little zune bird.
