Back! Hope everybody had a happy holiday. Kicking off another year of blog posts: this cool story from Wired. The folks at Wired chose "Academy of Dreams," as one of  The 10 Best Gadget Ads of 2007. Zune actually took the number two spot, losing out to The Bourne Ultimatum, which Wired thought was the best gadget ad of 2007. On a related note, Zune also got a quick mention in the number 10 entry: Transformers, saying, "We've got our fingers crossed for a transformed Zune/iPod brawl in the sequel." Heh. Funny, that.

New year, new Zune 80 colors?

"We've got our fingers crossed for a transformed Zune/iPod brawl in the sequel."

That would be so epic. I can see the critics turning on their heels now in lieu of such an awesome fight...

Welcome back Cesar!

Will we find you at CES next week?  Happy New Year

I guess I just don't get it......I use iTunes at work only to download podcasts and listen to my music.  I assumed the Zune would have the same offerings of music MOVIES and podcasts.....boy, was I wrong.  The Zune marketplace is a joke and has no movies and limited books on tape, television series, etc.

What is Microsoft's plan with the Zune?  ARe they going to make the committment and develop the marketplace?  If not, they just need to tell us fools who have invested in the product.  I can sell it on Ebay and use it to buy an iPod.

The lack of offerings is sickening for a company as large as MS and shows that they have not truly made the decision to support the product, only to offer it as a "me too" product.  Please prove me wrong so I don't have to turn to the I-stuff!

That's not such a bad idea.
