Default MS kills the Zune and Zune HD (with HD Radio) - LMFAO!!!

3/14/2011 - "The Zune HD, introduced in the fall of 2009, expected to
make a dent into Apple's iPod touch business by combining an OLED
screen, NVIDIA Tegra processor, HD Radio, and a new gaming platform
that was supposed to leverage Microsoft's Xbox 360. However, it
completely failed to do so, for reasons detailed at the time by
AppleInsider."

"Microsoft: Zune is not dead”

2/22/2011 - "Rumors of the Zune brand's demise are greatly
exaggerated, according to Microsoft. And to prove it, the Zune HD is
finally on sale in Canada."

"Zune HD - Will it work in Canada?"

9/21/2009 - "It will work just fine, with the exception of Marketplace
and HD Radio (we don't have any HD Radio stations here). If you are
not getting Marketplace or HD radio, why pay the premium for it?"

An interesting sequence of events, over the past 1 1/2 years. A couple
a weeks ago, someone posted on HD Radio's Facebook page that iBiquity
would fraudulently be collecting royalties on the Zune HD, as Canadian
broadcasters have no interest in HD Radio. "HD Radio's" response was,
"my, you sure know a lot about iBiquity's royalties". I bet that go
back to Struble, because the poster also indicated that the
information was sent to Galax Wolf (who is in litigation with MS over
the Zune), and also sent to Keffe Bartels!

Laughing... laughing... LMFAO!!!

Never heard of it. Zune is a stupid name.
