Comments on: What’s on Ballmer’s Zune? http://blogs.reuters.com/blog/2006/11/14/whats-on-ballmers-zune/ Just another Blogs.reuters.com weblog Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:35:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: meng_mao http://blogs.reuters.com/blog/2006/11/14/whats-on-ballmers-zune/#comment-70197 meng_mao Wed, 15 Nov 2006 08:37:19 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/2006/11/14/whats-on-ballmers-zune/#comment-70197 "I think if anybody else had come out with Zune, a small little start-up, people would say wow, isnt this wonderful, isnt this innovative, isnt this creative. Theyve taken this basic concept and built in wireless. Look at what that can bring you." B******t, Ballmer. Any product gets judged on its merits, not adding concept 1 and concept 2. If another company made the Zune, we'd still be panning it for not making good use of the wifi. “I think if anybody else had come out with Zune, a small little start-up, people would say wow, isnt this wonderful, isnt this innovative, isnt this creative.

Sure, but also bigger, heavier, worse navigation, and with a useless wifi included for you to carry around. This is a non-starter, I almost feel sorry for Ballmer except it's his own fault. If they want a piece of the Apple pie, they should just copy it and be done with it. Why make up stupid features so you stand out? They're not fooling anyone. Slicker than iPod?

Still haven't seen any reason why anyone would want to be part of this forcibly imagined music "sharing" community. Who cares? Ballmer is the most boring “salesman” ever.

Give me a media phone that looks like an iPod or Zune with a hi-def screen and great wi-fi n bluetooth (I currently have the Sony Ericson's W810-i)and Im happy to carry it and use it everywhere.
