Unfortunately for Microsoft, that figure includes all home entertainment sales, including Xbox products. The Zune was a small fraction of those earnings, if not a loss. They just waited far too long to get in the game. A couple years earlier and they could have really taken on the iPod.
Um, if you mean it has a keyboard, integrated webcam, and a fold-down screen, then yeah. Otherwise, not sure how you can say this looks like a Macbook. And I'm an Apple fanboy.
Nice work, Dell. If only you'd realized that spending a little bit of money on nice designs can help move hardware a little sooner. Maybe you wouldn't be worth only a third of Apple now (see? told you I'm a fanboy).
$699? For a PHONE? Fully SUBSIDIZED? That's got to be the most expensive phone in the world and it doesn't have a keyboard, which makes it not very good for business customers.
Of course I COULD fit a Zune in my pocket, but why bother when the 30GB ipod does it even more comfortably? I could stuff my cordless phone in my pocket if I wanted to, doesn't mean I want to walk around with it in there all day. Even if it did impress the ladies...
Don't know if you've ever used Google Maps before, but you can store your home address.
Guess what guys, if you hate Apple you're a fanboy too. I buy what I perceive to be the best piece of hardware for the task. That's why I have a Macbook Pro, an Xbox 360, and a Tivo. Not liking a cool gadget because of who makes it is hilarious. If Hitler came out with a good cell phone, I'd buy it.
Oh, and the iPhone ads are perfect. The thing is going to sell like hotcakes. I can't wait for the first pencilneck to exclaim, "my TreoBerry 3500 already does that" when I pull mine out.
