LOL, ilounge rumor post is a mock on the Zune turf...I wonder if the Zune team will respond with some updates ALREADY.

They (ipod fanbase) is already making fun of the Zune on their websites.

this is ridiculous. Will MS and the Zune team ever respond to this tirade ?

I'll take your late answer to this rumor as the same situation we have with the updates to the Zune projetc. You or someone on the Zune team should already downed this rumor before today.

This is evidence on how lazy and forgiven is the Zune team. These ppl lacks committment, passion, fire and direction.

How come you let www.ilounge.com of all sites make a rumor like this where every Zune website post it as news making your fanbase get new and higher expectations then you come late to the party to down the rumor after the damage have been done ?

BTW, on May 14 Zune will be 6 months on the hands of a lot of people. If it dont get any update before this day. I QUALIFY THE 6 MONTHS BDAY OF THE ZUNE as a big LETDOWN, BIG FLOP....after 6months nothing to show your fanbase is....A TOTAL UNDERACHIEVEMENT DISASTER.

I wouldn't diss the Zune... just enjoy the music

and just fyi, there have been 2 updates in those 6 months (1.2 and 1.3)  the zune does what it's supposed to.  Music. Movies. Pictures.  look on the box.  The Zune is NOT a letdown for the pure reason MS delivered the way they said they would.  When you bought the zune, if you bought it for some reason other than those 3, it's your own stupid fault.

YES...IT DOES...but there are BUGS AND INCONSISTENCIES.

- NO META-DATA SUPPORT FOR VIDEOS ON THE SOFTWARE
- NO METADA SUPPORT (ARTIST NAME) FOR VIDEOS ON THE ZUNE DEVICE
- NO WMA LOSSLESS SUPPORT ON DEVICE
- NO WIFI DJ FEATURE. THE SCREEN IS STILL ON SOFTWARE SETUP
- NO DRM FREE MUSIC ON MARKETPLACE
- NO ALL SONG ON MARKETPLACE AVAILABLE FOR SUBSCRIPTION (NO USE FOR MY PASS)

AND MANY MORE

like gapless. sure, zune = music, movies, pictures. fine. but I should be able to listen to the music the way the artist intended, especially since ipod has this capability (even the nano). When I play Sgt. Pepper's, Dark Side of the Moon, and hundreds of other albums that run tracks together without a gap in between, I should be able to hear it that way. This is a fundamental function that the competition already has and I think it is reasonable to expect Microsoft to get this happening on the Zune ASAP. Like yesterday.

I don't get why some of y'all go into a damn frenzy about things like this. Electronics of all kinds have bugs when first starting out. Get over it. I'm also grateful that my player doesn't have half the problems I'v read on the forum

Sorry friend..but you should go to www.zune.net and visit the support pages. They know about these bugs and inconsistencies. AFTER 6 MONTHS !!!

I guess this completely destroys the idea that consumer products are 100% trouble free.
