Microsoft Zune is available in Canada on June 13

I heard Micsoft Zune, which people said "the killer of iPod", in 2006. Until today, I just found it was advertised in Canadian retailer's flyer -- Zune digital music players available in stores across Canada starting June 13, 2008.

我第一次听说Zune是在2006年，当时人们都把微软的这个产品叫做“iPod的杀手”。但是直到今天，我才在加拿大本地零售商的宣传广告上看到真正的Zune在销售。2008.6.13日，是Zune正式登陆加拿大的日子。至于什么是Zune，大家应该可以从“iPod杀手”这名字看出来。

(The sign of Zune)

Zune can be the killer of iPod ? Maybe it is too late. Every day, I just see people playing a iPod, few people have zune, even few people heard "Zune". "Zune ? what it is? "

个人觉得Zune和iPod比起来，好像有差距，可能人们都有先入为主的习惯，又或者iPod太优秀。Zune好像是太迟了。
