]]> Well, it looks like the Microsoft Zune, Microsoft’s DRM’d iPod never-be, has dropped its price as part of its planned product cycle.  If you wanted to try it out, I suppose now is as good a time as any.  Being a Microsoft booster I would love to try it out, despite its many criticisms.  I was reminded of its existence here in Seattle (as we’re on a family trip), because it has not, nor has ever been released in Canada.  Even if I wanted to try and buy it in Canada, I am, as my old high school friend was wont to say, shit out of luck.  On a quick Google search, it looks like the last time it was mentioned anywhere was before Christmas when the scuttlebutt was that it might be released “early” in the year.  Well, early left a long time ago and still no Zune.  I’m sure there are a lot of legitimate reasons why it hasn’t yet come to Canada, or perhaps anywhere *but* the States, but I think it also says a lot about Microsoft’s confidence in this product.
