So it seems that Microsoft is coming out with the Zune2 (my moniker, not theirs). Gruber’s got some comments, as always. The first was by almost all counts a giant flop, though that’s hardly a reason to stop trying. But it seems they haven’t dealt with many of the major-er issues, like most of the uselessness of the WiFi (though syncing is a step up) and the idiocy of the 3-Plays-or-3-Days policy. And as if people didn’t have enough fun with the term “squirting,” they’re introducing us to the “squircle.”
