Another one of the articles that don’t seem to like the new Microsoft Zune MP3 Player has surfaced on Engadget. Looks like Microsoft did not make a killer iPod. Well, back to the drawing board. The article also spends time giving Apple suggestions on stuff to steal from the Zune. Uses the words “opulence” and “elegance” a little to much for a man. Hey buddy, it’s an mp3 player not your wife’s jewelry.

As a peer-to-peer implementation at launch, Microsoft has dispensed with the setup issues needed for infrastructure networks today. Nevertheless, the whole rigmarole around the terms of sharing (really more akin to limited and temporary “lending”) seems more trouble than it’s worth. WiFi is worthwhile and community-driven music discovery is a win for consumers, artists, merchants and vendors, but the place to encourage music sharing should be in software or on web sites that can easily reach millions overnight, as Napster and Rhapsody have done. If Microsoft wanted to enable secure and limited portable listening on the Zune device, it would have been a much richer experience for Zune users to have that extended from the Zune software or Zune Marketplace.
