TUAW reminded me that (date differences notwithstanding) today’s the fourth birthday of the first generation iPod touch. Is it just me, or does it seem like it’s been around a lot longer than that?
It’s getting to be one of the more recycled rumours in tech: Microsoft is done with Zune hardware, but Zune software will live on, maybe rebranded, maybe not. This time it’s Bloomberg’s Dina Bass throwing her tweet into the ring, saying that we won’t be seeing any more Zune hardware.
As much as I hate to say it, the Zune is more or less dead. It’s been a year and a half since we’ve seen a redesign, and though Zune hardware has always been quality, Microsoft seems to have refocused their handheld efforts behind WP7 (with rumours of an Xbox-branded device).
