People are saying it's new, give it time, etc. What a lame excuse. They've had plenty of time. Five years and more.
So here is MS w/ billions to spend, & iPod/Apple w/ much less resources has been improving hardware, software, content for 5 yrs now, & other MP3 players were out even before that, & have been improving.
MS has ALREADY tried PlaysForSure, MSN Music, & many PlaysForMaybe stores: Rhapsody, Walmart, Yahoo & who knows what else.
This device is NOT new, it is a rebranded Toshiba Gigabeat that has been out for some time. MS had every opportunity & resource to hit a homerun & they failed.
They simply failed, & there is no excuse for it. If they were serious about it, they could have done a more acceptable job.
They are not some 2-bit startup, new to the scene, w/ a few $1000 to invest.
Give it time?? They have had all the time & money in the world already! It must be really hard to just design, build & market a quality product, either that or it takes something that money, half-hearted efforts, & convoluted deals with RIAA companies, won't buy.
