Doomed Zune

Zune’s Big Innovation: Viral DRM which is to say, the innovation isn't customer-facing, its an innovation for the recording companies. Which is to say, screw you some more Microsoft.

I wouldn't mind an iPod with some of the features of the Zune, I like the file sharing aspect but the three day or three use expiration is annoying and will cripple adoption of the device.

And that's fine. I'm sure they'll sell enough to call it a success. Oh yeah, the device also doesn't play PlaysForSure media from what I've heard. Which is just asinine of Microsoft.

Nah, I'll go right back to lusting over the new Nano's, even though I think I kind of like the first gen. Nanos better, lookswise.
