The Zune was great. This reads like someone who heard about these products third hand and then read a Wikipedia page. Big miss.
The Zune had a terrible name and terrible advertising. A good example of how being the best product is far less important than being the most memorable good enough product.
Also it was originally poop brown and you "squirted" songs at each other.
Was possibly the best iPod competitor, just the iPod and its ecosystem was really good.
The first zune was available in three colors. Black, brown, and white. Only the cool kids had the brown one.
My turd brown zune was awesome. The interface was light years ahead of iPod. I loved that thing until it died.
