Microsoft's entertainment and games CFO hints at development of iPhone rival. more

[dbater]

Just like Microsoft, can't develop gas but once someone farts they have to do it too!
Of course their phone will have a hand crank on it...

[Frost7]

Guess $25 billion blown on the Xbox and Zune isn't quite enough for Microsoft's vanity, now they need to inflate it to $30 billion with a flop iPhone copycat.

Will it be brown?

[AlanCE]

It will be a turd with a glass plate over it. A revolution in touch-turd technology.

I visited Best Buy on Saturday and took a look at the Zune. Man, what a piece of junk. It feels so cheap. Which I told to the salesman. Who then went on to tell me it's much easier to load files on a Zune than an iPod. I had to almost bite my tongue to keep from laughing in his face.
Best Buy salespeople never change. The low quality of the Zune is only beaten by the salesmanship of the Best Buy staff in Oceanside, CA. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

If someone tries to steal it a hologram of Steve Ballmer will appear and he'll keep dancing around the crook jumping and screaming "THEIF, THEIF, THEIF..." until they drop the Zphone. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Reminds me of the old joke.
"What's the difference between an Apple press release and a Microsoft press release?"
"Six months."

I was just at Oceanside last June. The beach is nice there. I suppose most are in CA.
I can't say anything positive about Best Buy though whether in WA or CA. They have Sunday ads on deals but when you go into the store they seem to always be out-of-stock of that particular item. Oh but they have a similar regular priced item that you can purchase. How nice. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

That is called Bait-and-Switch, and is illegal. Next time they do that, report them to the proper authorities.

The day cell phone companies decided to turn their little pieces of doo doo into walkie-talkies was the day I wanted to petition the FCC to ban all cell phone usage. Do you know what it is like to want to enjoy a nice quiet meat at an outdoor bistro only to hear the idiot next to you have an inane conversation with a blleeep in between? I wanted to drop ice water on his head! /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
Seems to me this kind of mindless "innovation" at the expense of others is a perfect "addition" to set their unit apart from Apple. Now watch, they will send 5 million to Best Buy and claim that their opening sales topped the same number. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
