[News] [Rival] Guardian Editor on the (Likely) Imminent Death of Microsoft Zune

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Will the Zune ever arrive in the UK, or will Microsoft kill it first?

,----[ Quote ]
| Zune sales are badly down in the US, and nothing suggests it's going to 
| improve any time soon. What's Microsoft trying to prove with it? 
| 
| [...]
| 
| So do you expect to see the Zune land in the UK before it's taken out the 
| back of the Microsoft campus and shot, along with the Spot data wristwatch, 
| the Smart Display and those other "good ideas" that weren't?

What's to become of Microsoft's answer to the iPod?

,----[ Quote ]
| To be sure, the Zune provides a tiny, and apparently deteriorating portion of
| Microsoft's business. Revenue for the non-gaming side of Microsoft's
| Entertainment and Devices unit, which includes the Zune, tumbled 42 percent
| to roughly $211 million for the fourth fiscal quarter ended in June â or
| about 2 percent of the software giant's total, according to regulatory
| filings.
