Coming Zune

The song in this new Zune ad is fantastic. I think their marketing direction here is both extremely attractive and a great way to differentiate from Apple.

    I love them both but I especially like the track on this latest teaser! Do you know if a full length version exsists? I´ve done a search but haven´t found anything. This form of advertising communication gets me more excited than the last few ads for the iPod…. they´ve become too generic IMO.

    I haven’t been able to find a mention of the song anywhere either. I checked the picture of the Zune Marketplace but there’s no mention there either. I can only hope this will be a part of the bundled content that ships with my shiny new Zune :)

    You guys are missnig the point. This completely revolutionizes loading animations by spinning the cirlce/gear thingy counter-clockwise!!

    Also, dude, if you google “The second coming of the monkey god” Or Ashtar command, you get some messed up stuff. That in combination with the burning, and the counterclockwise spinning makes me wonder if the zune is somehow related to the apocalypse.

    Hey sorry for the comment flood, but the second I stepped into the bathroom I figured this out! And you heard it here first. Ready?

    MS is going to fire Balmer! Who yells exactly like that? Its Balmer! They’re gonna toast him. Thats why they keep spitting fire on him in the video. Its not signaling the apocalypse, but the second coming of MS. That or maybe they’re going to try to fire him up for the zune launch or somethig. Cause he (balmer-bird) doesn’t really die or go away, so yeah, maybe they just poke him whenever they need him to act pumped up or something.

    I guess I really don’t know… hmmm Still it def has something to do with balmer. Oh wait! Maybe they want us to think Steve balmer…steve…steve jobs! Maybe they’re trying to burn the other steve! That’s why he’s all colorful! Like the imacs and minis and nanos! But after he gets burned he’s colorful again… hmmm. This might signify that someone in MS is actually an Apple fan and believes that while the zune will hit apple somewhat hard, that Apple will come out okay and happy/colorful/winner???? Who is that person inside? This calls for an HP witch hunt! :)
