Death of the Zune?

[Hellbringer]

and im doubtful we zune users will be thrown to the wolves...that would just be stupid on their part.

That's funny. I always have a feeling that I am thrown out to the wolves. I have a tendency to back the losing format. It's amazing that XBox hasn't collapsed, because everything else I get behind seems to fail.

As you and and ComradeNarf point out, I shouldn't fret but one) it's good to bring up awareness for everyone and two) I really shouldn't worry about my Zune hardware losing total support. Here's to hoping that this Woodstock thing works with the hardware.

the hardware im not so sure about..perhaps with the windowsphone...but the zune players will probly die..which does make me sad...but who does'nt love new toys?

and this is probly what m.s. should have done from the beginning...get behind the one platform thats been a success..and like you ive been supporting zune since...hell, year one i believe so i know the frustration all to well

So E3 debuts the death of the zune by renaming it Xbox Music. Uh... okay. It still looks like Zune to me, though. So, my fears are temporarily alleviated.

Yea man...pretty much just looks like a renaming and a lil fresh up on the graphics...im actually kind of excited about it the more I read.

Well, so long as it continues to support the device... I have nothing to fear. Besides, I already have my Zune software installed on my computer, abandoning it only means no more updates. Sending out an "update" to cripple or erase itself I think is kinda illegal. I also seem to remember that when an software is declared as "abandoned," it is in a sense in the public domain and IP copyright is voided.

Buy an iPhone, or iPad.

*Sorry, just had to say it.

I won't argue with you there Kc, as much fun as it is to poke fun at Apple, I have to concede that they do produce fine electronic device. However, when I was in the market for a portable media device ~4 years ago, I compared the two from the selection available and with a larger & higher resolution screen for nearly half the price, the Zune was the winner.
