Should maybe get more.

Probably not going to happen. MS would be shooting its own leg by doing so. Windows Media all the way. I foresee that the Portable Media Devices wizard will be spiced up to be used with Zune, as well as WindowsMedia.com being made into the "iTunes" of Zune.

I'd say none until Microsoft sources (none so far) confirm that 1) there's a player going to be released for sure, 2) the name actually is Zune. Remember that Zune is still a very, very faint rumor, backed up by one photo that might as well be a Photoshop modification of an iPod. Also there has been counter speculation that Microsoft won't actually release a portable music device at all, but will instead play the game through other vendors licensing their technology.

I'm gambling here with the names, not really playing on the safe side. It's like a slot machine. I might get the jackpot or then I might lose the game. I've seen lots of rumors and acclaimed prototype pics related to mobile phones. Many out of them have turned out to be fakes or the actual product is different from it. So my best guess is that something is going on, but the name Zune shouldn't yet be said to be the name for certain.

Everyone getting caught into another HEAVY hype.... how many "ipod killas" came out in the first 6 months when ipod was first introduce. Ipod simply has too heavy of a user base for Microsoft to bully in right now. This is a hype that is solely limited to the domain industry. The vpod is out with plans on a new generation... guys and gals.... save your money....I have found no othe online source to substantiate anthing mention here by the original poster.... and it's a bunch of newbies hyping it up lead by a certain "Slaughterbeck" forgive my skeptism but nothing here warrants going crazy over this.... you know how many people went nuts on Googles supposed "GBUY.com" release.... and the name ended being "checkout.google.com".... everyone take a deep breath and relax.... the domain industry is filled with dreamers and with dreamers come suscepitbility to anything hopeful!!! My 2 Cents!!!

Zune-MSN proof? Check out zunelive domains


Noticed that zunelive.com/.ca/.info/.us/.biz/.net were both reg'd by that the same Jack Spurr person. Interesting they have a Canadian address. If the zunelive is available in another extention might be worth a grap.

Any USA residents want to start a fight with MSN over the Canadian address for the zunelive.us domain?

I don't know Kimmy or whether she's a newbie or not....timestamps and numbers of post mean nothing... as I've met many "newbies" recent reges on this forum and others with xxx,xxx names..so forgive me for giving that impression....

before jumping on a bandwagon.... I would just like to see more proof then a an article from "gizmodo.com".... it happens all the time in this industry and I've been around for quite a while myself and am just playing devil's advocate.... but at the same time I'm a domainer...... and it's all about chances.... yet with something as uncertain as this.... I always limit myself to a name or 2... miniscule lost for what maybe had.... nonetheless it seems like a lot of hype to me until I see some more boards and blogs with the news... take it as u will... just a more conservative domainer

You're basically reinstating what I already said a while ago.

I certainly understand what you're saying, but the whole domain industry really is centered around taking risks.

Personally, I only registered two Zune domains...but only because I was a few hours too late to get more good ones ("good", assuming that Zune is the real name. If not, I'm out only $14.40).
