Zune? Argo?

[MadAboutDomains]

Hello,

Everyone has been regging name after name after name... (and so continues) for the Microsoft "Zune"... but why does it call it the "Argo" on this website?

Or is it something different?

Argo was the codename. It seems like Zune is the final product name.

On my way to work the other day I was reading the Metro, very popular newspaper, they were reffering to it as the Xboy.

Not sure that would be as acceptable as it was once upon a time.
Unless they also had an xGirl version.

GameBoy did just fine w/o a GameGirl I too think Xboy is much much more brandable.

Maybe it's just me, but I could never see "Xboy" as a product name for an mp3 player. It sounds something more on the line of a video game or small console.

Personally, I don't think Microsoft's final product name will be Zune, but maybe that's just me too.
