Well I liked it too. The music, the buildup...I am thinking that the people on the laptop were looking at the people on the Zune live and vice versa.

Some sources say Zune will have Wireless File Sharing. Just regged WirelessFileSharing.com

Zune looks to be the official name with this spelling.

I know; did you look at the title of this thread which is 16 days old?

I guess everyone needed it to be finalized to be certain and I can understand that but I assure all that I would have never made such a bold title and placed it in such a popular section if I hadn’t known that this was the “Brand” and not as some have claimed the “Code” name for this device.

For me it didn’t come down to the press releases or “Insider Sources” but rather a simple pattern in DN reg’s that clued me in over 6 weeks ago.

In the end, I’m happy that the best creative minds in domaining here at Namepros were able to create some wonderful names for future development. And, I hope Microsoft is as lenient as they have been with the Xbox brand (just do a search for xbox and you can see all the development by fans with that Microsoft trademark in them). Time will tell...

P.S. At times I felt awful when I kept reading how this was “assuredly” or possibly a code name and that MS had this grand plan to put an end to domainers tricks by fooling them into believing one thing and then pulling the rug out from under them. They have more important things to try and do.

Sock it to 'em Kimmy. You were ahead of the curve and up towards the first wave of regs. Well done! I didn't pick up on your thread until late in the game but, (because I have faith in your judgement) I moved forward and I managed to find a few nuggets that I'm very happy to have for future development. BIG Tx for the tip.

Anyone noticed that Z trademarked Zune.us and someone also holds one on ZuneGear and Zune is dead.

Zune trademark shows up as dead. Was held by (if i member right) a shoe company.

The word Zune has had marks of usage, registered or not, often in the past, i.e. Aros software. The products are not too similar as to create any ill will though.

Well, the Analyst meeting reports show some sort of hope for us Zune webmasters.

Hopefully what MS is promising will become a reality as that'll definately increase Zune's popularity.

Did anyone else see this...

Microsoft sees no immediate return on Zune player

"REDMOND, Wash. (Reuters) — Microsoft does not expect an immediate return on its outlay for its upcoming "Zune" media player, predicting a three- to five-year investment period for the new device.

"It is something that is going to take time," Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's entertainment and devices division, said at Microsoft's annual analyst meeting.

"This is not a six-month investment time horizon," he said, adding that it may take three, four or five years to succeed.

Last week, Microsoft said it plans to release a new music and entertainment player and accompanying software under the "Zune" brand this year, in a belated attempt to challenge the dominance of Apple's iPod player."

Just an FYI...

I am signed up for google alerts and I got that one too...said they are sinking a lot of money into it.

I received another one (yesterday I think it was) said they had applied for and gotten an international trademark in Germany as opposed to the US but when I went to search it it wasn't found (maybe I searched wrong on WIPO) Anyone else get that google alert?

karuturi · 08-03-2006, 11:05 AM

Zune is the official name. Microsoft registered zune.in and zune.co.in

Sure, that's what they would expect with a product such as this. With all the successes for their Xbox line they still have lost well over 1 Billion dollars with that project in the past 5 years. Yet, Xbox is an unequivocal success.

No, you shouldn't. Never offer a domain name to a mark holder. If they have interest they'll indirectly contact you.

Results 1 - 10 of about 24,600,000 for "nintendo wii"

** This was hype just one short month ago...now look at it...

I hope zune goes as well as the wii's did / are...

Well when I wrote this "zune" totaled a measly 38,600 results in Google...now it is 30,400,000 results...in less than a month. I think Zune beat Wii in terms of buzz...

Thanks for the info Ian. I'm sure there have been dozens of sales for these names in the past few weeks though.

I was first and regg'd the name WinZunes.com. I think it might have potential for a give-away promotion site.
