You could argue the same for the iPhone, the phone service is kind of essential but otherwise a great device, so why is it too a US-only device? The difference here is that Apple is proactively working to get the iPhone into other markets. In a matter of 3 months, they¡¯ve already established partnerships in Europe and Canada. The Zune team on the other hand haven¡¯t managed one in a matter of 12 months as of next week. It¡¯s not like Microsoft doesn¡¯t have a worldwide presence and might have a hard time negotiating with music labels. But it¡¯s because they¡¯re not trying.

Consumers are not hopeless without some sort of integrated music store. Sure, a music store will make the integrated experience much richer, and probably sell more devices, but I believe the device on its own is worth buying. That¡¯s how they sold MP3 players before the iPod and if I recall correctly, people still bought them.

I should point out though the Zune is not impossible to get in Australia. There¡¯s a handful of them sold new on eBay, through a few online retailers and as well as the trusty Microsoft Australia employee. But that¡¯s not to say there¡¯s no risk. Even though Microsoft has said they¡¯ll refund any defective devices in Australia, there¡¯s no guarantee of warranty or support when required.

I¡¯ve even gone as far as asking Zune¡¯s public relations to buy a review unit. They didn¡¯t even bother to respond. Frankly, I¡¯m sick of waiting. My next alternative is an iPod Touch and I¡¯m sure Apple will be glad to profit from me.

Jailbreak, anyone? :)
