[...] Yep. After nearly three years at market, Zune has remarkably little share to show for it. In fact, recent data from NPD Group show Zune’s share of the portable media player market at about two percent, compared to about 70 percent for the Apple (AAPL) iPod.

The Zune may be dead and that would be a shame. Most people I know have never even heard of “Zune”. What is wrong with MS? They pay a fortune for marketing but they hire idiots to do the work. The few ads I have seen for the Zune are so busy trying to be edgy that they hardly bother to mention what the product is or what’s its features are. When will their marketing team learn the KISS rule? Sadly,although the Zune is better than the I-Pod, but it doesn’t stand a chance.

What Microsoft needs to do is pronounce the Zune dead long after it was removed from life support. And this, despite their numerous Zune apologists.

Zuneophiles need to give it up — and there are so many of them on the blogosphere, many more than people who actually own the ill-conceived device. How does that happen? More people write glowing love letters about their Zunes than people who actually own them.

It’s difficult to let go of someone important in our lives once they’ve died. But the fact is, the sooner you begin the grieving process, the better off you’ll be in the long run.
