Zune Thoughts - Daily News, Views, Rants and Raves

We saw with the Canadian launch that there was no green Zune, and speculation was that it was dropped due to lack-of-popularity reasons. It was still listed at the Zune.net site at the time though, so it seemed like it was only dropped for the Canadian launch. Today I was checking the Zune.net site, and on the Zune 4/8 page, there's no green. So unless this is some sort of temporary removal, it looks like the green Zune is gone for good. Is anyone going to miss it? I have a green Zune 8, and while I never found the colour repulsive, I never exactly warmed to it. Will you miss ol' greenie?

Ok, so first there's the speculation that the green Zune isn't going to be a part of the Canadian launch - maybe they'll introduce a new colour, like an arctic white - and now there's even more wild speculation: that somehow the versions being launched in Canada have a bigger screen or a smaller bezel. I for one wish this were true, because I think the bezel is way too big on the Flash Zunes, but a bigger screen? No way, no how - Microsoft would not do that, nor do I think they even could do that at this point.



There's only so much speculation a guy can take, so no, I'm not even going to post on this lunacy. ;-)
