Zune MP3 player opening is a dud

While this blog is mostly a "Grant Tailored" type of news and it just things I find interesting and not completely objective I do try to stick to places that are reputable. I don't know anything about the Middle East Times, but they did post an article from the AFP on the launch of Microsoft's Zune. Their "iPod Killer."

It's not pretty.

" SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA -- Microsoft's attack on the Apple iPod began with a whimper Tuesday as Zune players made a lackluster debut in US stores.

Two boxed Zune players sat ignored on the top shelf of a Plexiglas showcase packed with iPod accessories in a Virgin Megastore near Union Square in San Francisco's popular shopping district.

"I didn't even know they were there until a customer pointed them out," said sales clerk Jake Brooks. "I'm sure we have more in a closet in the back somewhere.""


By the way...this is post #100!
