The Zune team have just done something I wasn’t expecting them to do and that was announce something. This is exciting. They have just announced that from October 3rd the Zune Music Marketplace will be rolling out to Canada and along with that there will be a new Zune Music Pass for Canadians and US [...]

Good news for any of my readers who live in Sweden, you can now access the Zune Marketplace there, the currency is even kronor. Bruno H. told WPCentral that he was now able to access the marketplace saying: "Yesterday when i opened Zune on my pc, suddenly there was a new option in Zune that [...]

When rumours first started late last week about Zune being killed I was very much against such a notion, perhaps even in denial. However over the past few days it has become more apparent that Microsoft is no longer keen to mention Zune at all and with a few hints from people I am pretty [...]

I did notice that during the strategic partnership announcement that Zune was mentioned but I see this morning that Paul Thurrott and Liveside are giving their views on the lack of Zune throughout the announcement.
