Zune was one of the biggest flops.

The one thing about Zune that Impressed me when it was launched was that you could buy a 30GB version for 100$ - one of the MOST VFM PMPs out there, and it even sounded decent. But MS axed it off the shelf, and replaced it with double as expensive models and its not making sense anymore to get a Zune over an iAudio, Zen XiFi or iPod.

^^ Actually, Zune 30Gb's starting price was 250$. When they announced second zen 80Gb zune, they decided to clear 30Gb stock and so they put on a sale for 100$-150$. Once the new zune came out, they went back to 170$-200$ for the first gen.

seriously, the first gen zune had lot of issues with compatibility, stability etc.

Current gen zune is much better and even beats ipod in audio/video quality, features.

Eh what ? I have been using it since nearly a year now without any issues!

Microsoft's Zune is probably the 'closest' (in terms of modding) device I have ever owned.
