I think MS should pay NBC $1 for every Zune sold, just to be safe.

Excellent commentary on iLounge about NBC's decision to abandon the iTunes Store:

"Hopefully MS will move in and capitalize where iTunes has lost. Grab that NBC!"

If Microsoft wants to saddle up with NBC to add their content to the Zune Marketplace, I say more power to them. I wonder which would stab the other in the back first?

oops, sorry Cavan - been a bit swamped. There have been so many of these over the last few months, that I just stopped commenting. But just to make you happy: "we don't comment on rumor and speculation" :)

I find it odd that Cesar has not posted or commented once since those pic came out. Usually we get "We do not comment on rumor...yada...yada...yada".

Is this Admission via Silence?

I wonder if they have anything to compete agaist the new iPod Nano, which look like a fat bloated 1st gen iPod, only slightly smaller

Grab that NBC!

Wow.

So, NBC has decided not to renew their contract with Apple to sell their TV shows on the iTunes Store. Apparently, NBC wanted to increase Apple's wholesale cost so much, Apple would've been forced to sell shows at $4.99 per episode.

Apparently, NBC shows were 30% of iTunes Store TV show sales.

Wow, no news of any kind for almost a month. . .(and that's being generous), then we get cakes and buses. Thanks, MS!

Daveworld, let me just say yea that pic of the new Zunes better be fake cause I woul be seriously upset. They seem all too much like cheap Japanese knock off devices that you see at a flea market or mall kiosk. I am sure (and hope) the new Zunes look better than that. It seems like they are fake cause I thought they all were supposed to keep the color double shots that they introduced back when Zune first launched. Well thats just my opinion.
