Sadly. I wish they wouldnt, but unfortunately at the end of the day they need to turn a profit, and the zune just wasnt doing that.

Not really. It's dying. There have been conflicting reports coming even from official Microsoft sources so it's hard to say which it really is at the moment. It's pretty much certain that it will die in the near future, but the operative dead probably hasn't happened yet. And in the end, that only applies to continued devices and maybe support and apps. At the very worst you still have a stellar music player that will last you years. Nothing to be sad about.

Yeah. It seemed inevitable seeing as how many new smartphones are being released every year. Why buy a pmp when you can get a phone that does the exact same thing?

Because most smart phones have **** audio quality. I have yet to listen to a smartphone that sounds as good as the Zune HD.

Yup, and you can buy one from last year secondhand for a fairly decent price

I think the HD could've made a profit. I think the only reason it didn't go big was because or marketing. Almost everyone I know didn't know what a zune was

That's always been Microsoft's problem with the Zune brand. The time they had the highest momentum was during their 2nd Gen, and what a coincidence, they really put effort into advertising the devices that year!

The lack of marketing for the Zune HD was baffling. It's as if they thought that since they were Microsoft everyone would know what a Zune is and why it is great. I don't understand and probably never will understand their decision to not market the Zune HD.

Maybe they wanted it to spread throughout word of mouth (LOL NO NOT REALLY). No matter how much I sell it, no one can sell it better than the company...
