This has to be one of the most overhyped products that we’ve seen all year.  What’s the point of even including wifi?  Yeah it lets you share your songs for three days, but no internet browser so you can get Pandora.  You can’t use the wifi to check your email or use Skype.  You can’t even stream music from your home server even if you’ve already legally purchased the music.  Yeah it has a radio, but where is the ability to time shift the radio programming?  Other then the sharing song feature that is already watered down, how is this different from a Video iPod?  I’m not a Mac fan boy, but haven’t they had this product out for a couple of years already.  Instead of bending to the studio fat cats, Microsoft should have instead built a device that keeps consumers in mind.  I predict that this will be a huge flop.
