There is hope, yet, for the Zune. Keeping in mind that this is the FIRST
hand-held player that has wifi capability and the hardware underneath is
generic enough.... Linux may be able to be ported to the device, sometime
in the near future. If this should come to pass, ZUNE... the hardware...
maybe the hottest thing ever to hit the retail shelves.
As it is... it totally sucks.
