Someone tries to scratch the Zune HD...Fails miserably
We've all seen plenty of videos of iPods being intentionally scratched, stepped on, and whatever else these dap sadists can think of . We've even seen someone giving the Cowon S9 a once over with a variety of metal utensils. It's like some sort of sick initiation ritual that all touchscreen p...

Microsoft Turtle and Pure - The first "Zune" Phones?
The phones are rumored to run on Windows Mobile 7, and have support for many Zune services, including Zune Pass. It will also have its own App store of course. While this isn't the Zune Phone we were looking for, it's probably the closest we'll get for now.

DAPreview members unbox the Zune HD (First look too)
I've gotta hand it to you guys, you covered a fair bit in that 10 minute clip. I'm jealous too because you have a 32gb Zune HD and I do not, but then what good would it be to me given Microsoft don't want to provide mac support - and why would they I suppose.

Opinion: Is this a Zune or an iPod clone? [Updated]
We've seen iPod clones, and we've seen Zune clones, but here's a player that can't make up its mind about what it wants to rip-off. I mean it has pitiful clickwheel design on the front, but it also has the same form-factor and look of a Zune. It's ambiguous I tell you. It's the Pat of the DAP world!

Zune sales are down 54% from last year
Although this news looks bad on the surface, I'm not too worried about the Zune. It has become the clear alternative to iPods and Microsoft isn't going to abandon it so prematurely. They just need to release something new. If I had to guess what that was, I'd say a touchscreen Zune is what they ne...

Microsoft prepping a Gears of War 2 Zune
If there's one thing Microsoft is good at, it's marketing their first party Xbox 360 titles. Last year, Halo 3 ran a huge marketing campaign that included actions figures, a special Mountain Dew flavor, a Halo-themed Pontiac, and ah yes that Halo 3 Zune. Microsoft hopes to capture that same...
