Nice spot - if Microsoft needs to build up buzz for Zune, Ellen is a great choice. Just be ready for her to gently poke fun at it :) - Harvey www.Zunerama.com

Bummer, I can't watch it, I'm not at home. Somebody tell me what happened. Was she gentle with it?

How do you personally know you're not her target audience?

It was a great spot! It was great to hear the audience so enthusiastic about the Zune. I captured it and posted it here: http://hive.net/Member/forums/thread/18513.aspx

Everybody in the audience got a Zune! Forum coverage at http://zunerama.com/forum/index.php?topic=257.0 - Harvey http://www.zunerama.com

I can't believe Microsoft have done this. There are some well respected tech blogs and other influential reviewers who want this Zune and they give a bunch of them to middle-aged women who'll probably sell them on anyway. I'm not saying it's good publicity - even though I'm from the UK, I know this show is pretty popular over there - but maybe if they cared a little more about those who are actually likely to buy them, they'd do better.

yeah but remember Microsoft is targeting those who have never heard of the zune. Same way ipod targeted techno-illiterite people, Zune is now trying to target those same people. ( the one day my mom didn't watch Ellen is the day they had something I would actually wanna watch... ) =(

Oh yes, because when I get a Zune, I look foward to sharing songs with middle aged women.

Hey everyone...here's the clip. I think I'm a little jealous that 100 middle-aged women get a Zune before me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irylEFW6KLs

I was sad when I couldn't enter the engadget contest, but this made me sadder... I'll put my money on at least half of that audience not even taking the device out of the box.

LOL those women when nuts. I bet most of them didn't even know what the thing was. Next up Ophra, MS just donate a 50k to her charity and promise to give some Zune's away to here audience and I'm sure she'll take you. LOL.

My wife and her firends went to the Ellen show and are getting the Zune! Although most of the audience might be older... My wife is 32 and all her friends are 26-31. We are totally stoked to get the Zune!

@Marc... you are one lucky man. Maybe you will get it a few days early and give us a short review of it. =)
