Cool can we see a transcript of your speech? ;)

I have noticed that there are another couple of Zune keynotes coming up also. Both Christina Calio at digital NARM and Robbie Bach at MIX 07. Both of these are also within a couple of days, if not the same day, May 1st. Looking forward to hearing all the developments both in hardware and software.

Robbie Bach - Mix 07 > http://visitmix.com/

I really wanna play Oblivion (or just about anything for 360) since my 360 broke.  It's gonna be a long week as I've decided to wait for the Elite to come out to get it fixed, since Best Buy said they'd let me upgrade when I cash in on my warranty.

I'll be in Seattle the 15th, 16th and 17th of May... Who doesn't like soup?

Im looking for zuners in houston area to zune with, i dont fancy the trip up north-west to swap a song and eat soup

Yes Red, I think May 1st is going to be an interesting day.  Hopefully there will be a transcript or video of Robbie Bach's keynote.  Since MIX is targeting a developer audience I think he's going to talk alot about opportunities in Live Arcade and Games for Windows space.  But if he's smart he'll talk about Media Center and Zune platforms too.

I have no idea what Christina will talk about regarding music.  I would love to hear something about tieing in lyrics to Zune MarketPlace.  That and CD liner notes elegantly coupled with album/tracks would definitely raise the bar over anything available today.

As far a video content, I don't know who is responsible for that on the Zune team.  I guess I'll leave it up to Robbie to talk about if there is anything to talk about.  One can only hope we'll hear more about XBox movie downloads and far better Media Center integration/compatibility.

bad grammar

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

But why is ballmer saying this now? Look at this link, why would he just lie like that.:

And also, what about the zune phone patent that emerged a couple of weeks ago? Any comment cesar?

I really wonder what is happening to the zune. All i'll say is there better be some seriously groundbreaking announcements re zune on may 1st!

"opportunities in Live Arcade and Games for Windows space"

I hope MS will stop talking about the future for once :) and talk about the present.

The MS CIA will be watching www.zunescene.com much more now..

I was at Ballmer's talk. He's a cool guy.

Cesar, did you guys do anything to help American Idol, "Idol Gives Back" tonight?  Look Apple isn't doing it just for charity lets be honest.  But missing a 2hr special that is reaching 10s of millions of people is a huge blunder.  This would have been a great way to kick of your new ad campaign.  But sofar I have seen several Mac-vs-PC commercials.  There is Ryan Seacrest talking about downloading this & that from "iTunes".  AmericanIdol.com has an iTunes download link for excluse content.  To this day, I don't know why you haven't placed any ads during the AIdol time slot.  Please relay this to your marketing department...thanks.  Don't get me wrong I do wish you guys success.

LOL! Wow, Richard Dawkins! That's very admirable... yet a little creepy at the same time.

NPD #s are in, Zune's market share was 9.1 percent.  Up from 8.8 in February.  Not bad guys!  Does that mean you'll reach a million units by July?

no, this is how you be awesome at oblivion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHmanB-5FIg  ;)

10.5 million iPods sold in one quarter. How many Zunes sell in one quarter?

With a 24% increase in iPod sales. Now that's impressive! And not a brown iPod in sight! ;)

I sent my Zune back for repair because it constantly shuts down and reboots mid-song.  I just got my replacement Zune yesterday, and it does the exact same thing.  Obviously this is a big problem, affecting a large percentage of the Zunes, and MS is NOT aknowledging it.  When I spoke with customer service, they claimed they had never heard of the issue.  That is impossible since every Zune formum has topics about this in detail.  When is MS going to aknoledge this serious problem?
