Wal-Mart Leaks Zune Price
nieske writes, "Engadget reports that Wal-Mart accidentally published online the intended price of the Microsoft Zune; the iPod rival would apparently retail for $284. The price was quickly pulled from the Wal-Mart site. Reports say that Microsoft was flustered when Apple dropped the price for the iPod 30 GB, previously $299, to $249. BetaNews states that 'undercutting the iPod is a major goal of Microsoft's upcoming effort.' Will Microsoft respond to Apple with another price drop?"
That would be great, but I wouldn't trust a sentence starting with "One of our moles on the inside told us...".

Once again on the price, you need to make a product sexy to sell it. The dancing silhouette with the white headphones sold the iPod because it looked good.
So Microsoft, I propose you do this:
A dancing Ballmer silhouette.
My pulse is rising already just thinking about it.

Likely, it will only go the way of this lame mp3 player.
It's like sex, except I'm having it!
Hey, if anybody's gonna have some good insight into the underworld, it'd be a mole...
This guy's the limit!
