Zune, the Squirting iPod
Better late than never? Not for the ZUNE, Microsoft’s portable MP3 player and self-described ‘iPod killer’ that lost hundreds of millions of dollars. On this week’s DISASTERPIECES, Justin and Steve look back at the brief and not-so-glorious reign of the mp3 player that almost every kid was disappointed to find under the Christmas tree. From the obtuse ad campaign to the unfortunate branding of being able to ‘squirt’ your friends, the ZUNE was pretty much DOA.
Was it actually better than the iPod? Maybe. But it was definitely more righteous than Neil Young’s PONO.
