   Wow must be the same bunch that decided to release the original zune only in the US. I still can not understand why they chose to ignore 5.7 billion potential customers.

   Eh, I was probably going to buy it online anyway, although it is getting increasingly annoying that all these big announcements for xboxlive, or PSN, or other media things like Hulu etc. etc. are not available in Canada.

   I don't give a damn if they want to be an apple killer or not. As long as they say fast, smooth with 720p video output. I'm spending my money on this

   Gonna Fail Again!

   The Zune is nothing but an MP3/MP4 player while the iTouch is a portable entertainment console. I love Zunes ( My 30 GB is still my favorite piece of electronic gear) but Microsoft needs to quit treating the Zune like a red-headed stepchild.

   For Example,if Zune could use this new innovation called Bluetooth, we could use Bluetooth Stereo Headphones and not have the cords that run from our headsets to the player catching on objects around the house and especially at the gym.

   Why can't Zune natively function as an external Hard Drive to store documents? Why does it require a Registry hack to work as a Hard Drive? I carry around a 30 GB Hard Drive that can't be used for Documents?

   Why does Zune not sync with your contacts? Outlook and Outlook Express are both Microsoft products, could those follks possibly talk to the Zune Guys and possibly integrate the products? My $59.99 cell phone with a 1 GB SD card can store hundreds of Contacts in the Address Book, but a device with a 30 GB Hard Drive can't?

   And don't get me started on accessories. Walk into any Walmart, Best Buy, Fry's .etc and you will see endless shelves of accessories for the iPod and iTouch.

   If you find more than 4 accessories for the Zune, congratulations you have hit the Motherlode!

   Sorry Microsoft, I was hoping that release of the HD series would cure some of the Zune's deficiencies, but all I can see is Touch Screen capability and a more streamlined product.

   So it's iTouch for me now, anybody want to buy a 4 GB, 8 GB, 30 GB or 80 GB used Zune?
