I must say, I COMPLETELY agree with this article. I am no doubt getting a Zune 2 as soon as I can sell my Gigabeat-S.

They also continue wow us with petty but impractical ones like “cover flow” as if we were a bunch of attention deficit two year olds.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2007/11/8-features-i-do-not-want-to-see-on-the-zune.php">
Apple is on the verge of creating a void in the market where a simple media centric device once stood. This void is now being filled by the Zune, so I write this in hope that Microsoft will continue to offer the Zune as a simple media centric device and not cave to the people screaming for clocks, games, web browsers, and other add-ons. Time, energy, and recourses are better spent improving the users’ music experience.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2007/11/8-features-i-do-not-want-to-see-on-the-zune.php"><H3>Games</H3>
<P>
Are you really that bored? Do you really need to burry your face in a self indulging game of solitaire? Besides, are the games really that fun with an interface that was designed to browse lists of music? If you want to play games, go buy a DS.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2007/11/8-features-i-do-not-want-to-see-on-the-zune.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.anythingbutipod.com/img/189AE7EA-6C4A-45AF-8504-4371DD067706" alt="8-zune-features.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2007/11/8-features-i-do-not-want-to-see-on-the-zune.php">Features I Do NOT Want to See on the Zune</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/56EBA916-F765-49C9-8EF1-43996777EEEE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
