If we can live up to the hype and become fan worthy, you should be proud of being a fan!

The 1st person to email me an NON PHOTOSHOPPED snapshot of your new Zune with our Got Zune theme, you will become a Got Zune Immortal. I will create a page on this site and link it with your photo and name for all to see who the original Got Zune Fan was!

Hopefully we can crank out more of these soon!

Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM)

I always get the question asked of me, "Why do you like the Zune? Why not iPod?"

Well. The answer is simple and if you have followed me for a while, you will know that a) I am a Microsoft Fanboy b) I don't like the "You have to have an iPod to be cool" thingy going on with today's kids. and c) It really is a nice device.

• I have openly admitted that Apple has done thing right and that the iPod stable is a great stable of players.
• I have openly admitted that I dislike Apple period.
• I have state that the best domain on the internet is taken already, anythingbutipod.com
• I have more than 5 iPods in my home right now.
• I have 4 Zunes in my home right now. (none are 4/8GB or 80GB in capacity)
• I have more than 20 other music players here too!

Why do you like the Zune?

This is a short video but shows some of the seemless scrolling that the new Zune Pad allows for. I personally dig the new menu. It's still much like the original Zune, but it's a lot bigger and the animation when you click is awesome.

Update: Game Over, Congrats Kriff

To kick off Got Zune, we are giving away a Black 80GB Zune 2.  This contest couldn't be any easier, well it could be easier, but... ya know.

To win just post comments. The more comments, the better your chances. From now until November 20th, you can comment on our posts here. On November 20th, 2007, I will go into the admin control panel and figure up how many comments we have accumulated and do a random drawing by comment ID for the winner.

To keep folks from spamming comments with "cool post" and "thanks man" comments, I will pass over comments that have no true substance.

It's that simple. Oh, one more thing... Make sure the email address you are posting comments with is valid. This will be the email that I use to notify the winner with.

Stay Tuned, there might be more contests too! We had fun giving away a pink Zune over on Mobilitysite earlier this month.

One last thing, this will have no effect on your chance to win, but I welcome you to join our MyBlogLog Community and share in our forums over at Mobilitysite.

No, No... I don't have a Zune yet either... But I do have something I have wanted for a long time. A Zune Blog!

Got Zune is a Blog about the Microsoft Zune. Got Zune has been a long time coming. It’s now, finally, alive and kicking. Got Zune will feature news, tips, reviews, and discussion about the Microsoft Zune!

Got Zune will not replace Zune reporting here at Mobilitysite at all. Just like Tiltsite.com, Got Zune will be a lot more detailed than the general Zune Reports we give here. The site will interact with Mobilitysite and will share the same Zune Forums that are already in place at Mobilitysite.

What took you so long?
Well that’s a good question and I will be 100% honest. When the original Zune came out, I was really excited. Being a Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, this was something was really looking forward to. Here is where it gets kind of sappy… A good friend of mine, Jason Dunn, created Zune Thoughts. Plain and simple, I didn’t want to copy nor compete with a friend. I had thought about it but I procrastinated long enough and Jason beat me to the punch. I was really busy with my other sites that I didn’t really mind though.

Weeks and months have gone by and as we approach Zune 2 Launch, I really wanted to help the Zune Community with my own gig. I revitalized DAPsite.com (previously DellDJsite.com), but I really didn’t want to cram Zune down the throats of a general DAP site. I created another blog with Zune in the title, but it took a week to type it in. So I decided on GotZune.com. Yippee!

My Zune Evangelism has already been noted!
Even though this site is brand new, I have been hot on the trails evangelizing the Zune. When Zune originally launched, I was at the store buying the hell of them. I bought 3 the 1st day. I ended up giving a couple away too.

I covered the launch in detail on Mobilitysite.com and my Youtube videos showed many the glory of the Zune! My Video 1st Look and Microsoft Zune 2nd Look received 1000’s of views and I have gotten over 200 emails asking more about Zune and many emails thanking me for turning them on to Zune.

Who is behind Got Zune?
So, far, just a couple of us! Read the About page to see who...

Check out Got Zune!

So, I was out with my son today doing some Christmas Window Shopping to find out what to pay Santa for this year. There are some really cool toys out there.

Well, I decided to pop into a couple Geek Toy Stores too! Here's what I saw today. 1st I will say that I "SAW" a 4GB Flash Zune, but the guy wouldn't let me buy, photograph, or really touch it. (it was in the box anyhow)

Wal Mart
Wally World had a full line of accessories on the shelf in the pretty new official packaging. The Car Kit, Premium Ear Buds, Charger, etc... all with the 3 logos that indicate that they will work with the 80, 30, and 8/4 GB models. Wal Mart had Zunes in the back with a street date so they wouldn't even ring up if they wanted to sell early.

Circuit City
Nothing to be found as far as display, etc. They did have the Charge/Sync cable in the new retail packaging and the 8/4 GB Leather case.

Target
Just like last year... I asked one of the guys, "Hey, do you work in the area?" He said Yep. I asked him what he knew about the new Zunes and he replied, " What's a Zune?" OMG. LOL Anyhow, Target has the new mock ups on a display with a little literature, but no Zune in sight. No accessories either.

I did get a good idea what my son wants for Christmas though!
