70% Of Zune Owners Unhappy – Allegedly July 26, 2007

I say ‘allegedly’ here because the survey from some bunch called Eagle Research Group (ERG) can’t actually be found. There are lots of stories online out there that attest to its findings but the company’s one-page Web site – with no media links – doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.
The findings of the ghost report claim that 70% [of how many respondents?] of Zune player users are ready to switch over to an iPod or, an iPhone when their contract expires. Just over a third claimed they would never have bought a Zune if they had known the iPhone was so cool.
Of the 30% that are staying put with Zune [which topped the 1 million-mark a few months back], just under half claimed the they wouldn’t have the iPhone because it doesn’t have enough music storage, while a fifth of them said they wouldn’t touch an Apple product, not even with someone else's hand.
Up until that last bit, this iReport could have been written by Apple’s PR department. Maybe they just commissioned it. If someone out there has this report, please send me the link.-Martin Lynch

What Zune contract? If you don't like your Zune, sell it on eBay. You're not tied to it for 12 months, or anything.
no you muppet their mobile contract - unless you want to pay two line rentals a month
Try this for an alternate approach to zune use.
