All it takes is some ordinary dude say something to a friend we wishes it could happen to all "news" blogs begin reporting as a very probably fact.

And then you hear bloggers complaining about not been treated as proper journalists. Ever heard of fact checking?]]>May 12th 2009 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/May 12th 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/
We strive to avoid this kind of stuff, so obviously we want to be as thorough as possible when dealing with rumors. In this case, it seemed reasonable enough to suspect some truth here, as we've seen well trusted Microsoft employees (like Brian Seitz, who we mention above) dropping pretty big hints via Twitter.]]>May 12th 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/May 12th 2009 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/http://joshuatopolsky.tumblr.com/post/106933903/on-tweets-as-sources

There were several confirmed sources in Canada that reviewed the Palm Pre in person: http://www.prethinking.com/home/2009/5/12/palm-pre-final-models-in-depth-impressions-from-canada.html

So yes, most of them may be full of crap but there are creditable sources of news and information on twitter.

Why can't Microsoft just give consumers what they want?! Why?! I just don't understand it...]]>May 12th 2009 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/
MS reminds me of the old joke: "A camel is a horse designed by a committee. There are too many people in the decision-making process at Microsoft. They need to narrow down the decision-making process.

Though to narrow it down to Steve Ballmer would be like narrowing down Apple's to John Dvorak. (rim shot)]]>May 12th 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/

Well if these stories achieve anything, it should show microsoft how excited everyone got so quickly. It was like the introduction of the Pre @ CES again.

There is obviously a big market for this and it would sell a load of handsets]]>May 12th 2009 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/May 12th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/
i think they just need to spend a whole lot of time sort out windows mobile from UNDERLYING ARCHITECTURE and make it at least close to iphone in terms of ease-of-use yet maintaining their advantage in being able to open/edit office documents and its compatibility with windows.

mac markets they can forget about it for the time being, but they needa fight back and grab some of the market share lost to windows users using the iphone.]]>May 12th 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/
There could also be some radical changes coming to Windows Mobile, and we know we get new Zune hardware pretty soon.

MS is smart enough to know it couldnt win in smart phone hardware. Its so established in the software/OS portion that it would bring down both elements and really stand to lose a lot of cash in the whole process. ]]>May 12th 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-denies-twitter-sourced-zune-rumors/
