Zune to Launch: Nano Killer 
Zune Scene has some inside information on the coming of a flash based Zune player aimed to take on the wildly popular Nano. Expect to see a full lineup of Zune cases and Zune accessories for the new device due out this fall. Based on the Zune vs iPod comparison chart for the original device, one should expect the flash based Zune to do well on a feature by feature bases. After the recent release of the iPhone many Zune fans are looking and hoping for a competitive Zunephone device. Unfortunately, the CEO of Microsoft has indicated there are no immediate plans for the production of a ZunePhone, but Zune Games can be expected as early as next year.
The current marketing strategy of wifi sharing has not taken root due to the scarcity of Zunes in the wild. Claims have been made that 1,000,000 units of the Microsoft Zune have been shipped already, but that’s not enough. This summer the Zune team is sponsoring a series of concerts to help boost the name brand recognition for the MP3 player. Launch of the flash player and larger 80gb Zune later this year should also help spur demand for the new technology.
