In Microsoft's 'social' world this means:

1) never having the ability to bring your Zune to a friend's computer and uploading songs from it to his machine, let alone entirely without software. That's a no-no, 'impossible' in this DRM-paranoia age, yet offered by tens of smaller competitors offering native mass storage mode who haven't made deals with the labels. Gotta love industry-sanctioned players like Zune, iPod, Sony Walkmans...

2) never being able to use it on any operating system you please. Unless it's XP or Vista. Surprise surprise.

3) no support for superior open codecs (xvid, ogg vorbis, flac). No surprises here.

4) restrictive "3-days or 3-plays" wireless sharing

Uhhh, welcome to the social? Social what?

Make a native Mass Storage device and I'll be social just fine.
1) with any computer.
2) with virtually any OS.
3) Anytime
4) Without the inconvenience of loading software on each machine.
5) without the one-way-only PC-to-Zune transfer restrictions

Again? Social what?

I had a first generation (5GB, Mac only) iPod, and it kicked ass. It was the first mp3 player I'd seen that looked like it was designed for people to use, not just to satisfy a list of bullet-points on a Thinkgeek product page. A part of me still misses the mechanical scroll-wheel, even though you had to pop it off every so often and clean out the gunk. When I was at WWDC one year, I talked to a white-bearded Apple engineer who wistfully wondered if he could get someone to put the guts of the newer iPod model into the shell of his original.

FWIW, though, by the time iPod was released, they were up to version iTunes 2. When it first shipped, the iTunes 2 installer ran a shell script that could potentially erase entire hard drives, but that was fixed a while before the introduction of the iPod.

Oh, and while I'm being pedantic and annoying, the word you were looking for is 'fared'.]]>Nov 12th 2006 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/12/stores-selling-zunes-early/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/12/stores-selling-zunes-early/Nov 12th 2006 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/12/stores-selling-zunes-early/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/12/stores-selling-zunes-early/Nov 12th 2006 3:49AM
