Microsoft Zune HD 64 dead in the water?
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft released a 64GB version of their
| Zune HD, dropping the prices of the 16GB and
| 32GB models in the process. But the
| announcement came without much fanfare from
| the tech community. Is the Zune HD already
| dead in the water? And if so, does it deserve
| it?

Microsoft's Zune Misstep Marks the Gadget Road Not Taken

| The Zune's failure sent the company down a
| very different path than Apple's. Jobs & Co.
| were able to use the iPod's success to launch
| the iPhone, and now the iPad. Microsoft's
| mobile OS has struggled against the mobile
| operating system Apple uses, probably because
| Redmond never had a cell phone of its own to
| carry Windows Mobile as a follow-on product
| to the Zune.

Microsoft Kills Windows Phone 7's Series

| Microsoft is not very confident about the
| coolness of the name of its newest operating
| system for mobile phones named Windows Phone
| 7 Series. The coolest name would have been
| WP7S! But Microsoft has decided to chop the
| word 'series' from the 'Windows Phone 7
| Series'. The phone will now be called Windows
| Phone 7.
