10/27/2011, I would have thought that Microsoft would have given up on their Zune Music project by now, but I guess I am wrong – the company is far more resilient than most people figured out. Folks living in Australia will [...]
10/10/2011, Last week we’ve had a lot of contradicting reports about the Zune player being killed off – first it was silently announced on the Zune website, then the announcement was removed and @ZuneSupport tweeted that it could have been an [...]
10/05/2011, A couple of days ago, we reported that Microsoft officially pronounced the Zune player dead on the Zune support website. It seems that the announcement might have been a mistake. Responding to a Tweet about the Zune hardware being dead, [...]
10/03/2011, We’ve previously written about rumors concerning the Zune’s demise, and then reported about Microsoft refuting such stories. Well now we’ve come to tell you that the Zune is officially dead. Announced on the official Zune support website, Microsoft has stated [...]

07/01/2011, Not a fan of all things Apple and you just refuse to buy an iPod? Perhaps you’re a Microsoft loyalist and you went for their Zune MP3 player instead. Well if you’re still using the Zune, it looks like Microsoft [...]
06/20/2011, Everyone knows that Microsoft did try to break the iPod’s dominance with their Zune portable media player, but failed miserably in the attempt. You can’t really fault the hardware at all, since it has proved to be rather solid in [...]
