Through the Glass

Posted by David Tucker in "Thoughts Media Off Topic" @ 11:04 AM

So I'm sitting a Southwest flight to West Palm Beach right now. My uncle is sitting on the aisle listening to his Nano. I have my Zune playing Stone Sour's "Through the Glass". It's a perfect harmony of Microsoft and Apple.

He was quite impressed by the video capabilities of the Zune but his comment was "That's really neat but I don't need video. I just want something little." And so it goes.

What does that say to me? Microsoft doesn't need Zune 2.0 (not yet anyway). And as much as I hate to say it, they don't need to give the early adopters the long awaited update. (Let's be honest. Raise your hand if you won't just buy 2.0 when it comes out anyway. That's what I thought.)

No, they really need a small, flash based Zune. By all accounts we'll get one in September. That's when the real competition starts. I can't wait myself. The new GUI that the iPhone sports is just as nice, if not nicer, than the Zune interface. Microsoft and Apple really are good for each other!
