Euro-Zune Launch December 2007?
It may come as a surprise to our American cousins, but the Zune isn’t available in Europe yet. Originally scheduled for a 2008(!) release, rumours are now floating around that it could be launched for Christmas 2007.
Reindorp said Microsoft was not yet ready to officially announce when it would launch the service in Europe but it could possibly be out before the end of the year.
"The industry moves in this sort of Christmas to Christmas cycle. So you can expect that there will be more devices, more features in the market at that point," he said.
"Our next round of introductions will probably be in time for the holiday of this year."
As you can imagine news of this has been met by waves of indifference by the entire continent, who can’t see what all the fuss was about… Probably because there isn’t an MP3 player shortage over here, and apart from a Microsoft logo, the Zune really doesn’t do anything new.
Still, at least we get to get it.
