To Zune or not to Zune
After a decent start in mid-november when it was unveiled, Microsoft’s Zune has not been able to reach more than #4 in portable music players war with just 1.9 percent market share compared to 62 percent for Apple’s iPod. SanDisk and Creative are second and third respectively.
Anyway, this is not peanuts at all for a new player in a estimated $6 billion market, but the worst thing is that Microsoft still has not convinced dealers. Only 10 percent of them recommend Zune over iPod, which is recommended by 70 percent of dealers.
This are no good news for short-term sales but Microsoft still claim its long-term commitment to the digital music player market. In spite of these sort-of-bad starting results, this is not the first time Microsoft is late for a market that would have almost ended dominating. Remember X-Box versus Sony’s PlayStation and even Windows-PC versus Apple’s Macintosh. What comes next? Only time will tell.

[…] Of course, all retailers agree with the idea that this is a good opportunity that only happens once in five years (or more) and all of them are hoping something special, but though Microsoft’s operating systems are more attractive for customers and dealers than its zune, it looks like Windows 95 expectation has been left behind.
