It seems Europe will be seeing yet another major delay in
new entertainment items. Recently
Microsoft announced that the Zune player won’t be available in Europe for a
long time. Even though it will be
released in the United States on November 14, customers in Europe won’t see it until
late in 2007, possibly even later.
You have to wonder why there would be such a huge delay
between the two launches. The most
probably explanation is just that there is no infrastructure for a real Zune
release. For example, Microsoft doesn’t
seem to have any solid idea of how it will distribute online music for the Zune
outside of the United States. But
obviously the hardware itself will be ready, so it’s really a question of the
other things that have to be there when the Zune is released.
