In the least likely to surprise anyone news, Microsoft is killing off the hardware line of Zune. They promise the service is still important and they won’t let that go. If you followed me for any time, I was an early advocate of the Zune. I launched a site all about it – Zuneluv.com –…Read More »
Dead In 2010
I tweeted last week that “Acer Chairman says iPad impact not serious … then offers Easter Bunny job as Chief Strategy Director.” Apologies to the Easter Bunny in suggesting he’d take such a demotion but, … let’s face it, with the iPad, the Netbook is dead in 2010.

Zune HD
So, the Zune HD has been out for a few days now. I’ve had mine for a bit longer, but wasn’t able to activate it for use until Tuesday morning like everyone else. So, what do I think? The Good Form factor and feel are awesome. This device feels much “bigger” than it really is….Read More »

As always, I geeked out and monitored the livebloggers during the WWDC event. Here are my comments accordingly (for the record, I monitored Geekbrief’s live stream, Engadget, TUAW, and Gizmodo): Zune HD Jokes – haven’t heard yet, but you know they’re coming … New Macbooks and pricing – all nice – but nothing revolutionary.

Does Microsoft’s (And Everyone Else’s) Future Media Integration Plans Kill The Indie Producer? Is Felicia Day A Star Or What?
Today as I sat through an amazing presentation by Microsoft that included Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Steven Spielberg and Felicia Day (you can read the details of the Xbox/Zune E3 announcements here), I had to ask myself a single question: Where is the indie producer in this?

Looks very cool – and looks like a key player – or at least potentially so. I’m heading out to S3 next week and will be at the Xbox Press Event where they will demonstrate…Read More »

ZuneHD? My Thoughts On The Rumors
Disclosure: I’m a Microsoft Digital Media MVP and under NDA with Microsoft under several issues. I, however, know nothing from Microsoft about any “Zune HD” project.
