Social Aspects of Zune
Lets face it, since the beginning of recorded history, music has always been a social activity. In ancient times hunters and gatherers huddled around the campfire at night. They sang and beat animal skin drums, telling stories, and taking part of the key social event of the day.

Zune endeavors to bring back the social side of music, and break the isolation of the lonely man with his ear buds in the corner. Zune promises a new connection between listeners on a plane, at school, or even on a crowded street. Sharing what you hear, on the local level, or possibly connecting to others through music online. The age of isolation could be replaced, by the dawn of "us".



Analysts Fear iPod Loosing it's Cool
Analysts warn that the iPod has passed its peak. From its launch five years ago its sales graph showed a consistent upward curve, culminating in a period around last Christmas that saw a record 14 million sold. But sales fell to 8.5 million in the following quarter, and down to 8.1 million in the most recent three-month period. Wall Street is reportedly starting to worry that the bubble will burst.
