Zune Gets a Heart; Still Seeking Backbone
AT&T’s LG Shine isn’t the only thing going red for Valentine’s Day this year. Microsoft’s recent Apple rip-off TV commercials seemed to be a bit of a Band-Aid approach to marketing its Zune PMP. Pehaps this is part of the Washington wonder’s game plan however, as they announced earlier this week that the 80GB Zune would be available in a lovely shade of red for Valentine’s Day. Available for a limited time through Microsoft’s Zune Originals website, the red Zune’s price tag remains unaffected at $250. Zune Originals also allows buyers to choose from 20 new VDay-related designs that can be laser-etched onto the back of the player. Customers can even download a variety of lovey-dovey tracks that can be shared Zune to Zune or via the Zune SoNet. Microsoft has put a lot of effort into their Valentine’s Day offering this year and hopefully by taking advantage of it, you’ll be one step closer to getting exactly what you want for Vday.

Wow
Its still cool to rip on the zune…ya know – I have a zune and I love it. I had an ipod and it was a cheaply made pos.
Agreed. I have a Zune80 and love it way more than any iPod or MP3 I have ever had! Zune 80 is actually better head to head with an iPod classic.
Unfortunately no one would ever now that with Apple’s Propaganda ad machine in full swing. MS badly needs to get their marketing act together.
