Zune's doing what it does best - Driving people CrAzY!! Zune made a cameo on The Ellen Degeneres Show - Gosh! the audience was in complete hysteria - Ellen then decided to give away a Zune to everyone in the Audience and did the crowd go crazy! Take a look for yourself...
Chi-Lan Lieu demonstrated the Zune on the show and is everyone excited at the “Share” feature of this device!
I loved the first comment on Gizmodo which said “...You'd have thought that Ellen just announced a cure for menopause ...“ Well if the device can get so many middle aged women so excited then imagine what it can do to a younger audience.
Its not long before we see a nice quote and a R.I.P (2001 - 2006) on the IPOD! Well Mr. IPOD, we will say a little prayer for you. 2001 - 2006 = 5 years a typical turnaround time for Microsoft (Java was 1995 - 2000), 2000 was when Microsoft started talking about .NET well it wasn't untill 2003 when .NET went full steam - so I'd expect something similar with Zune, give it another 3 years to knock every other portable media device off your memory.
P.S - Notice the Zune packaging in the above video (do you remember the Microsoft redesigns IPOD packaging video?)
