Robbie Bach says no Zune Phone, no Xbox Blu-ray... maybe a touchscreen Zune
Someone clearly didn't want Microsoft fans being left out at this time of extreme Apple coverage. In an interview with SFGate, Robbie Bach manages to deftly deny the rumored Xbox / Blu-ray match-up, deny a Zune Phone is coming anytime soon (although he intimates Zune software may come to phones), but still cleverly suggests that a Zune Touch could be in the offing. Of course, by "cleverly suggest" we mean he mentions the possibility of a device with touch capabilities, which is like saying Dell might release a laptop with a keyboard. Is that the device pictured above? No silly, that's just someone's Photoshop work. Steve Jobs -- anything to say about this?

Only an Apple fan would somehow translate that to Sinai being irrelevent while viewing his own comments as a positive contribution in these forums.
I love how mac users still think their community is so big... even though it isn't. And on top of that, the operating system is just an advanced version of UNIX with bubbly icons that make it look nice and tidy. Hell id rather use my overclocked 901 EEE with ubuntu than the overpriced macbook air.
And some people actually enjoy an "advanced, tidied up version of UNIX".
get over it.
also, what idiot would waste their time meking a fake zune cause.....
1-theres no such thing as a microsoft fanboy, or else that would be the king of geeks
2-nobody cares about microsoft. theres more news about apple because they are both schooling microsoft and nobody cares about microsoft news compared to apple news
lol@no one cares about microsoft news. more people care about microsoft news than people that care about apple news. welcome to the world.
Some kid indeed. Don't throw your opinions around as facts and expect people to care.
Wow, talk about blindly following Apple...
1. I disagree. There are, and they aren't being gouged for the "simplicity and design".
2. Plenty of people care about Microsoft. I do. There is more news about Apple because if they don't, people will actually look at what they're buying and ask themselves "Why the hell did I buy this?". If you blind them with something new and shiny every so often, they forget about their current products and look to buy the newest.
The reason we see more Apple related news is because this is Engadget. Though, admittedly it has gotten much better, Engadget loves Apple. When Zune first came out it was nothing but "It still doesn't compare to the iPod." Now, it is much better, but it is still obvious that there are many Apple fanboys working at Engadget.
Zune kung fu kicks ipods ass with extra soy.
1) wireless sync. I don't have to have the cable to update
2) radio. I can listen to sports live.
3) gapless audio. No more breaks in the electronic beat (thanks v2.5!)
4) zune is beefy. I'd break a ipod by sneezing on the puny thing.
ipods are like the high school cheerleader captain. Every girl thinks they have to be like her but it's only because all the other cheerleaders make her that way. But Zune is like the outcast girl. Everyone gives her crap for being different but she's not shallow.
what headphones are those? They look sickkkkkkkk

Why couldn't they called it something different? They're using a product name, not a brand name, and adding "Touch" to it. Isn't that what Apple has been doing for the past year? Next there's going to be a "zPhone" and a "Zune Nano" and "Zune Classic"!!! But still giving props to Microsoft cause if that pic comes true, it'll be a bigger screen than the iPod Touch, cause it takes up more space. Add 80GB of flash memory and I'd buy it!! only it'd cost $700...
for those calling "fake"...two more pics are up at ABi... http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30712
It sounds like hes saying that they wont make a hardware device, but that the new version of WMP for both the PC OS, and Windows Mobile will be Zune compatible, or will at least be Zune social compatible.
that thing looks beautiful
very believable zune touch pic. whoever did that did a great job. i am excited to see what comes up next with the zune. oh yeah, eventhough i always read what other people say, i was not in the mood to read a 2 hr. essay. sorry.
This goes to all of the apple elitist turtle neck wearing queers. It's one thing to buy an Iphone because you like it. It's a whole other thing to waste every ones time with your apple propaganda and tiny tiny point of views. Take that shit to roughlydrafted.com and let everyone else have an actual conversation. I'm tired of all of the Steve Job's butt boys.
It look's ok but it also looks "thick".
Somone call the mental institution for clack.
They be trend followers.
in response to clak.
If 90% of the time safari crashes, then safari obilously is shit.
Opera and Firefox very rarely crash and when they do it is because it took up to much ram. Or you have a virus.
this shows that one of the "best" browser in the world is total shit because every one wants flash.
I can't wait till some smart human figures that if they make a flash enabled browser for iPhone/iPod touch. They will be very famous.
So apple and your "clean" code, fix your god damned safari to handle such an easy plugin problem. Or go open source ;) and you could probably find someone that can fix it.
Some Kid,
Suck Dick. That is all.
P.S. I'm a microsoft fanboy.
