Adio, Zune! Microsoft renunţă la dezvoltarea playerului pentru a se concentra pe telefoane mobile

Zune is dead! Long live Zune! este titlul apărut pe site-ul engadget.com, care anunţă oprirea producţiei playerului. Pe site-ul de suport al device-ului, într-o pagină (http://www.zune.net/en-US/support/zuneplayers/supportzuneplayers.htm), se regăsesc următoarele cuvinte: "Windows Phone va fi punctul central al atenţiei în strategia privind muzica şi videoclipurile mobile. Nu vom mai produce playere Zune".

Zune HD va supravieţui prin serviciul de muzică Zune, care va continua să funcţioneze alături de playerele autonome, ca de altfel şi pe desktopul Windows, şi pe platformele Windows Phone şi Xbox.

We recently announced that, going forward, Windows Phone will be the focus of our mobile music and video strategy, and that we will no longer be producing Zune players. So what does this mean for our current Zune users? Absolutely nothing. Your device will continue to work with Zune services just as it does today. And we will continue to honor the warranties of all devices for both current owners and those who buy our very last devices. Customer service has been, and will remain a top priority for us. To get the most out of your Zune player or for additional support, see the following sites:
