The Street
reports the Microsoft Zune digital audio player fails to impress:
"I've never heard of the Zune."
"I don't suggest the Zune, because it is really heavy."
"Who makes that?"
That's a sample of comments compiled by Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, who recently quizzed salespeople at 40 big-box consumer electronics stores to gauge what MP3 players they suggested to customers, at the more-than $200 price-point.
Only 8% recommended the Zune, compared with 75% who endorsed Apple's iPod.
