About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Wednesday, December 06, 2006Zunestory: Microsoft Talks Zune ExpectationsMe, in WinInfo:Stung by recent criticism of the marketing and functionality of its Zune portable media player, Microsoft this week revealed its plans for the device and, in a rare disclosure, its expectations for sales during Zune's first holiday season. According to a Microsoft representative who briefed me on these plans yesterday, the company expects to ship over 1 million Zune players by the end of their fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2007. That's enough to give Zune 10 to 20 percent of the market currently enjoyed by the Apple iPod device the Zune most closely competes with.I think this article, and the longer version I'm planning for the SuperSite may surprise some people. Perhaps the Zune isn't as doomed as we believe. [ Posted at 10:07 AM | Permalink ]
