Not if Microsoft don't make the Zune available worldwide.

The Zune really needs to hit the teenage audience IMO (in order to surpass the iPod), and I really think its done it with the new Zunes.]]>Oct 20th 2007 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/Oct 20th 2007 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/

I will agree with that once the Zune can store purchased video off of the X-Box 360. Hell, even if the Zune Marketplace sold video it would be a dead heat IMO, but allow synchronization of music and video from the X-box and I will put my iPod in the desk drawer.

Even they would understand that podcasts are really just podcasts, so they're meant to be called podcasts.

I think they realize by now their naming convention was rather complicated, so some of their latest new things, aren't dragged with complicated names. ]]>Oct 20th 2007 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/>

vista has replaced all the standard web fonts with new f'd up named ones.
eg
Candara, Consolas, Calibri, Cambria, Constantia and Corbel.

speak not of what you do not understand.


microsoft will always be microsoft.

they can't just leave well enough alone.

I'm surprissed they didn't repalce podcasts all together with an ms designed version of the same thing. hell, they've tried to make their own version of flash, silverlight or whatever.... come on. the original posters comment is dead on.]]>Oct 20th 2007 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/Oct 20th 2007 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/
Those are completely new different fonts.

And in my mind, much better. They use ClearType technology, and it's much more easier on the eyes to read. They also look more aesthetically pleasing.

They were not some original fonts that had a name change. They're completely NEW. Shows what you know.]]>Oct 20th 2007 10:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/Oct 21st 2007 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/Oct 20th 2007 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/
And the posts Engadget picks up from ZuneScene or wherever, have been pretty true. I don't really remember when it wasn't true. I mean, there's even a screenshot of this. That's pretty more convincing than just a bunch of text.

"a result of the standard "viral/paid blogs" efforts back at Seattle's headquarters."

Yeah, anybody who has any like at all to Microsoft, or any of their products/services has to be paid. I mean, really, there's NOTHING that Microsoft makes worthwhile to people. And in case you don't notice, that's sarcasm.

I mean, I would expect Apple to pay Mac lovers rather than Microsoft paying people. Considering their low marketshare in the market, and the so-called many Apple fan-sites, I wouldn't be surprised if something fishy were going on. I mean, it's just weird the number of, "Oh, you should buy a Mac" answers come up, and all. Really, I would expect something going on.]]>Oct 20th 2007 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/

You actually may be on something.

My English teacher, for example, always says "get a Mac" whenever a student talks about a computer problem they've had. No joke. But that's granted that he just acts weird all around.

It may just be that Mac fanboys have inflated egos, but they are almost religious about it. ]]>Oct 20th 2007 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/Oct 20th 2007 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/

I only see two problems. First, for those of us who only keep the last 2 or 3 episodes of a podcast, this UI would seam very bleak and empty. The second is a good number of podcasts don't use album artwork, so organizing the podcasts in such a manner isn't practical just yet.

I'm happy to see them calling them Podcasts, instead of trying to rebel and call them Zune casts.]]>Oct 20th 2007 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/Oct 20th 2007 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/20/new-zune-support-documents-leaked-only-obsessed-need-apply/
