Microsoft Zune's As Good As Dead On Arrival
,----[ Quote ]
| I responded last week to a comment left on our blog by Mike Evangelist
| hypothesizing that Microsoft could do some serious damage to Apple's
| iPod domination by launching its Zune music player at $99. Well, so much
| for that theory. Today, Microsoft announced that the Zune will retail
| for $249.99, $0.99 more than Apple's fifth generation iPod video.

| At least Microsoft is consistent: users will have to wait for Zune 2.0
| before we find out whether Microsoft will actually challenge Apple for
| digital music player leadership. But Zune 1.0 appears to be dead on
| arrival.
