Is the Zune a dud?

The Chicago Sun-Times reported earlier this week that the Microsoft Zune…its new digital music player fails to live up to expectations and will likely be gone not long after it arrives.
For all we can say about the Ipod, both good and bad, several companies have come up with alternatives worth considering. Most of these companies, Sandisk, to name one, look for ways to target features and markets Ipod does not.

If anyone had the power to disrupt Apple’s 85% market share, it was Microsoft. But it appears that their product has dropped the ball. Zune is not even compatible with the staple of Windows media experiences, the Windows Media Player. Even the touted wireless feature only allows transfers to other Zunes, not to allow transfers from your computer wirelessly.

Time for Microsoft to drop this like they dropped Microsoft Bob.
