Kevin’s Word

Microsoft. Poor little defenceless Microsoft. How cute they think they can beat uber-cool Apple in their already-defined MP3 player market.
Brown? Brown! Brown. One of the three colors that the Zune comes in is brown. I mean really, it looks ugly and is not desirable. It brakes licenses by putting DRM on non-restricted music and audio, such as pod(net)casts and me talking to myself I put on my MP3 player. (Oh, like you don’t)
But, despite the advertisement, oh I mean “news story” by MSNBC if they are planning to at least sell some, they need to ship them out. At both three Wal-Marts both here and one in Brookhaven, MS, and a Sears I went to, all there is are two display units, and a bunch of empty boxes. And, yes, I did ask if they had any in the back, after checking they said they had only received the display kit.
What’s my point? I don’t really like the iPods, and I don’t own an MP3 player (and, no, I also don’t own any pairs of Crocs). If the Zune was at least $50 to $100 cheaper, I would definitely get one, because it would be affordable, and have the features.
And, no, I wouldn’t get the brown one.
