They fly 747-400 OLD plane, lost my luggage, MILF-like steward, no individual display and tight seats.

No thanks.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/
Why should Zune hardware go away? There are still advantages to having a dedicated music player over a partner-manufactured smartphone, like no contracts or monthly fees to pay. Plus I haven't seen any evidence that WP7 phones will have things like HD video output via a Zune Dock Connector.

I think it makes a lot of sense for Microsoft to let other people manufacture their phones, but to continue making the music player hardware themselves so they have a product with tight hardware and software integration.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/Jun 3rd 2010 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/Really?

I've had 3 and I talked 3 of my friends and a few family members into getting one.

Obviously your isheep friends haven't ever used one. They only got out done for a short time by the ipod touch but the zune hd is still a better platform and zune software is so much nicer than itunes.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/
My family are all Zune users because of me and a bunch of my friends. They obviously aren't nearly as widespread as iPods but they are out there. The name will grow. I believe Microsoft is just taking their time. They have to build a strong content library and foundation if they really want to take on Apple, in terms of an entertainment service.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/Zune is a stupid name. ]]>Jun 3rd 2010 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/So you agree with me...and I agree with you, Google is a stupid name.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/

You know I've never been on a real airplane before, and I gotta tell ya it was really great. Except that I had to sit between two large Albanian women with excruciatingly severe body odor. And the little kid in back of me kept throwing up the whole time. The flight attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted peanuts. And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore. And oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out and we went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside and the plane exploded in a giant fireball and every body died.

Except for me.

You know why? 'Cause I had my tray table up and my seat back in the full upright position.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/Jun 3rd 2010 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/united-airlines-offers-up-zune-inflight-audio-no-actual-zunes/I sure do love my ZuneHD though.
