I have no idea why Microsoft, Apple or any other major distributor of PDAs, MP3 players,etc wouldn't include language support for French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and a few others.

The Truth Hurts, O rly. Welcome to the So-So.

You know who those three Zune owners are? Pastor Ted Haggard, Rep. Mark Foley, and Senator Larry Craig.

aka Zune Boy Three.

Why all the Zune-iacs hang out at Engadget.com is beyond me. ]]>Sep 2nd 2007 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/zune-hacked-for-korean-and-chinese-language-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/zune-hacked-for-korean-and-chinese-language-support/http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/

That's just the trouble. I can't find any Zune owners. Maybe they all hang out in Redmond.

Wetworker, If you love your Zune, great. More power to you. But try looking at the unit sales numbers for iPods and Zunes. Also keep in mind that Zune has dropped in price by about $100. That should tell you how well Zune is doing.

Check out the new iPods coming this week. You might change your mind.

MS bashing? Try again. Engadget's a haven for Zuneiacs, or shills posing as such. If you think Engadget's anti-MS, go elsewhere like Slashdot. ]]>Sep 2nd 2007 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/zune-hacked-for-korean-and-chinese-language-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/zune-hacked-for-korean-and-chinese-language-support/Sep 2nd 2007 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/zune-hacked-for-korean-and-chinese-language-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/zune-hacked-for-korean-and-chinese-language-support/Sep 2nd 2007 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/zune-hacked-for-korean-and-chinese-language-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/zune-hacked-for-korean-and-chinese-language-support/Sep 5th 2007 8:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/zune-hacked-for-korean-and-chinese-language-support/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/zune-hacked-for-korean-and-chinese-language-support/Second, I can afford an iPod, I chose Zune.
Third, it is not an iPod copy. That's like saying "Your car is red, mine is red too. You copied me."
Fourth, you never see Zune owners running around saying "Lollol u suck bekuz u like teh Ipod!11 Loll go enjoy ur IPOD!"
