This is not a comment, but a very serious question. I have a pacemaker, got a zune for christmas and am not sure how the unit will affect my pace maker. Tried to find answer in tech help but couldn't find w/o spending all day visiting each segment of your tech info. Please give me info on this question.

i can't wait till the ZUNE comes out…and i'm not really worried about the competitive part. It's better than the ipod and if u look at the comparisons the Zune has a japanese manufacturer and the ipod has a taiwanese..who has better technology that the japanese. plus it took the ipod 6 generations to improve its features….how horrible is that! Zune will most likely come out with better ones but for now it beats the long time leading ipod haha

This thing is ugly. For it to even compete, not only does it need to be simple, like iTunes and the iPod, but it needs to look sexy.

Microsoft has a tendency to try to over complicate things (hell, look at MS Office!) We dont need everything under the sun for features on the device, and we dont need windows media player to be super complex. Make it easy to transfer music!

I really want this device to make it, but I am worried that Microsoft will simply not stand behind it like they should.

Rob Enderle has a great article on why it could fail: http://news.digitaltrends.com/talkback131.html simply put, Microsoft will need to dump a lot of marketing dollars into this.
