Next generation Zune Scorpio mp3 Player delayed

Microsoft has yet to officially announce the launch of the next generation Zune player but it appears that there might be a delay (as usual). No official statement was given, for those that are looking for a decent mp3 player with lots of features, my advise is to wait for Zune.

Microsoft may not be a very good hardware company but what makes Zune interesting is the fact that it has tons of features, one of the key features missing from Apple’s iPod is the FM radio.

According to Zune Scene, the next generation Zune is flash based. Visit Zune Scene for a comparison between Apple’s iPod and Microsoft Zune.

“I’m Not Impressed by Zune.” said Steve Jobs

Not Impressed by Zune said Steve Jobs

What can I say about Microsoft Zune? I’ve yet to get my hands on one and it is highly unlikely I’ll get one ever. Steve Jobs was not impress, the marketing guru that re-shape the entire Apple computers and eventually the way corporate market their product is right about it. I’ve I were given a choice to choose between an iPod and a Zune, I’ll definately go for an iPod even if the price is the same. Maybe iPod has the cool factor and its an Apple, not to mention that Zune’s design is a big let down. Read : Zune vs. iPod

In an interview with Newsweek’s Senior Editor Steven, Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs says he is unconcerned that iPod might lose its cache because it’s too popular. “That’s like saying you don’t want to kiss your lover’s lips because everyone has lips. It doesn’t make any sense,” he tells Levy. “We don’t strive to appear cool. We just try to make the best products we can. And if they are cool, well, that’s great.”

Wal-Mart leaks Zune price

With all the hype in the soon to be launch Microsoft Zune, I think the guys in Wal-Mart tries to capture some free attention from the blogging world - by accidentally releasing the yet to be announce price tag for Microsoft Zune. I’m not sure if they done that on purpose or its an act of mistake - but one thing for sure, its gonna reflect bad on Wal-Mart on the long run.

Would be buyers now has a $284 price tag from Wal-Mart imprint into their mind, and they’ll compare the $284 price with other stores. End of the day, its gonna be $284 vs “cheaper than $284″. Most of these people won’t even bother checking the price. With Apple fighting back by lowering the ipod price and up the spec, $284 is alot when you compare it with Apple’s ipod. Microsoft - please lower the price and hire some real designers.
