Brown zune for $80

No.

I wonder if they'd be more popular if they could run Linux, with drivers for wifi, for all sorts of wireless fun. As it were, the iPod Touch beat them to it.

As a combo device, Nokia N800 style wifi web browser, and a music player, the Zune could'a been a contender. Unfortunately, the lack-luster wifi support, along with the $2 to Universal Music from Microsoft for each Zune purchased meant no-buy. In fact, the $2 to Universal Music Group for each Zune sold isn't even as bad as the 'PlaysForSure' not playing on the Zune.

Jeesh. I'd forgotten how much the Zune sucked. As nice as the hardware is, Microsoft missed the boat.
