It’s official! Microsoft has dropped Zune, but when you hear it you hit you think Zune is dead in the water, unfortunately that is not the case, Microsoft says “it’s all about the software”, though the Zune hardware will be chucked, the software lives on through Microsoft’s XBOX 360 and Windows 7 phone. However with those you will still spend money or money for Microsoft points to buy or rent movies, music, or music videos, which I really haven’t done yet to suggest. It seems Microsoft saw the flaw in 2006 when it was launched with its design and integrity, especially against Apple’s iPod but continued with its production, with the problems and incompatibility problems like; PC’s and laptops unrecognizing them to deleting entire libraries on a whim that the Zune had, it’s a wonder the device wasn’t scrapped in 2007, even when advertising wasn’t helping it’s success. Microsoft hopes someday for the app to be picked up by other stand-alone devices but none have picked it up yet. Personally, I do hope to warm-up to The Zune App on my own 360 console, but thanks to RedBox today or tomorrow will not be that day.
