I was an iPod guy.
And I definitely bought the wrong one.
I want a Zune again so badly.
But the Zune is back, sort of.
At the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
I want a Zune again so badly.
3 is now here, and the Zune is in the spotlight.
But there’s also an element of truth in it.
Where is the Zune?
I miss you old friend.
Why can’t I buy one?
Surely there’s a warehouse with unsold stock in it?
Obviously, the Zune is a dead product.
But Microsoft is one of the biggest companies on the planet.
And the eBay profiteers are going to jack the prices through the roof.
Just try and buy the Sony Walkman that featured from the first moments of the first movie.
It’s not even a high-end model.
This has beenyearsin the making.
Six years in tech is an eternity to produce a terrific way to piggyback on this.
Surely there’s a warehouse somewhere with a bunch of unsold stock?
Or did they all get buried in the desert like that awful ET game way back?
We’ve already seen one Microsoft employee show how tobring one back to life in 2023.
Imagine what Microsoft could have done?!
I’ve always wanted to replace it, now I really want to replace it.
Or how about a new one with Android on?
Here’s an alternative, radical, thought.
How about a small run of new Zunes powered by Android?
An Android base with a Zune app designed to mimic the old one would be killer.
Especially since anyone with an Android phone could also have said app.
This partnership with Marvel ishugethough.
And it’s not like it’s a passing glance of the Zune in the movie either.
You see it a lot.
Star-Lord has it integrated into the ship, into Knowhere, he’s always listening to it.
The missed opportunity is large.
Let’s not also forget that retro is in again.
In the age of streaming, vinyl music sales are going through the roof.
Vintage fashion is a whole thing.
What’s old is new again.
I’m just sad there hasn’t been more made of this.
