The Chicago Sun-Times Destroys the Zune

by admin on November 27th, 2006

As geeky readers know, Microsoft released their iPod killer this fall, the Zune. The Chicago Sun Times's Andy Ihnatko went to school on the new device:

Yes, Microsoft's new Zune digital music player is just plain dreadful. I've spent a week setting this thing up and using it, and the overall experience is about as pleasant as having an airbag deploy in your face.

"Avoid," is my general message. The Zune is a square wheel, a product that's so absurd and so obviously immune to success that it evokes something akin to a sense of pity.

The reasons he itemizes seem pretty compelling. As far as I can tell, Microsoft did nearly everything wrong. I'll stick with my iPod, thanks.
