In an interview with Microsoft’s Robbie Bach told that just over million Zunes have been sold. That’s great news, especially since Zune has only been on the market since November 2006. But still it is only 1% of the 100 million iPods sold. From what I read about a month ago Zune is holding as 2nd most popular MP3 player of course with the iPod being number 1.
So 1 million sold, growing in popularity, and with only one model to choose from. Well I have to say that’s pretty good. And you know what they say.. “The Proof is in the Pudding” so here you go.
This Saturday I decided to stop by Circuit City and just browse. I don’t know what it is when I walk into a tech store but I feel like a gitty school girl that just had the handsome jock of the football team slip his hand up her dress.
As I was there I saw a girl looking at the the Zune display and to my enjoyment she picked one up and was off to the register to buy it. Me being the random person I am decided to go up to her and do a mini interview.
So I approached her and said hello and told her my name. After that I told her I had noticed she had brought a Zune and asked if she would mind answering some questions for me. So I asked her the following questions and here are answers.
1. What made you decided to buy a Zune?
- Well I had an iPod Nano and didn’t like the fact that the screen was so small so I decided to return it. My boyfriend was the one that told me I should get a Zune instead.
2. Do you have a lot of music on your computer? Do you plan to purchase music from the Zune marketplace or sign up for a subscription?
-Yes, I have tons of music on my computer. I haven’t looking into the subscription but it sounds pretty cool.
3. What are some of the features you like about Zune?
- Well I like the big screen and the fact that I can watch videos on it, with the iPod Nano you can’t watch videos. Also its on Sale and its only $199 compared to the Nano which is $250.
4. Did you know you can share your music with other friends/people who have Zunes wirelessly?
-Yes! I did see something about that on the commercial I thought that was really neat.
5. Did you know you that you can now get the Zune in Pink?
-Yes, I did see that it comes in Pink but they didn’t have any here.
6. Can I take a picture with you of your Zune?
- (laughs) Sure!
So there you go! Another happy Zune customer! All I can say now is Welcome to the Social, girl I bothered at Circuit City. I hope to join you soon!
I should so be a Zune rep.
