Ever heard of Zune? Its Microsoft’s MP3 player. No, not Microsoft’s iPod, MP3 player. And one that sucks big time. To prove how much it sucks, might I quote that it was awarded one of the ugliest product in tech history by PC world in addition to only having around 1% of market share (compared to 77% of Apple’s iPod).
Microsoft has been trying hard to keep Zune alive for years now. However, all their attempts have failed.
Finally, according to Bloomberg, Microsoft is pulling the plug for Zune. They will not be releasing any new models now and will continue selling the existing version only.
