Coming Zune…
Everyone is curious about the new microsoft player/online service known as Zune. Engadget has some speculation, but John Gruber sums it up succinctly with style and wit to spare.
The most shocking thing about all of this is that the new microsoft player and online store does not support microsoft’s own ‘plays for sure’ technology that napster and other onlines services use. ‘Plays for sure?’… How about ‘might play, but don’t hold your breath’ or the less verbose ‘cross your fingers!’
I do have to admit it though, I think the ‘comingzune.com‘ corporate site has a great URL…
UPDATE: Microsoft employee Sean Alexander discusses the ‘Plays for sure’ angle…
