Microsoft Provides Info on 30GB Zune Errors

Current 30GB Zune holders aren’t too happy right now as there appears to have been systematic failure of 30GB Zunes across the land recently. Microsoft appears to be aware of the problem, but no solutions are forth-coming yet from them.

Customers using the Zune 30 might experience problems starting their players. We’re aware of the problem and are working to correct it. The Zune Social might be slow or inaccessible. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!

I’m still moving forward with purchasing the Zune instead of a new iPod though. In fact, my wife offered me her iPod Nano since her new phone will serve as her music player of choice. I told her I didn’t want it because I didn’t want to have to install iTunes on my computer to manage the music on it.
