Zune Bashing Again!

This time it comes from Businessweek’s Stephen Wildstrom, who does not believe Microsoft when they say they are happy with first few weeks of the Zune sales. The writer is also convinced that the numbers are well below original forecasts.

The journalist wrote, “On Dec. 9, the black Zune (Amazon counts each stock keeping unit, or SKU, as a separate product) was the 60th most popular consumer electronics item with Amazon customers. That's a good performance only in comparison with the brown Zune, which ranked 292nd, and the white model at 423rd, suggesting that if you want to sell a white music player, it had better be an iPod.”

The white Zune is surely the less attractive color out there but I would not count the brown Zune dead right away. The color brings something new and trendy. Is it going to gain a real momentum or not, we don’t know but it keeps us talking about it! Right?

After buying my wife her Zune for her birthday,I also bought the accessory package.
Four trips back to the store & many phone conversations with "Zune Helpline" only to realize finally I had bought a "lemon".
Staples was kind enough to exchange it even though it was over five weeks from the purcase date.
I wish someone would had advsed me that the Zune could be the problem instead of me exchanging the accessory package four times.
I must admit with the "JBL" speakers-it rocks!!
