Below is the front page of this week’s Target ad showing the flashed-based Zune device (4 and 8 GB).

Which item would you pick, the Zune (on the left) or the iPod Touch (on the right)? Did you even notice the Zune? (I thought it was the last generation iPod Nano until I took a closer look.)

I know there’s a $150 price difference between the two but that issue is answered when you turn the page.

Frong Page Target Ad for the Zune 2

This is what you see on the inside page. A nice ad telling you the iPod makes the perfect gift. So where’s the Zune? If I didn’t know better I would think this whole thing was an Apple ad and they included the Zune for comparision purposes.

The Microsoft Zune is so far behind the iPod in Marketing and sales, you would think Microsoft would pay to make a splash for the release of the Zune 2. I bet many won’t even notice the Zune but will notice the iPod Touch on the front page and the new iPod Nano and iPod Classic on the second page.

I paid $250 for my first generation 30 GB Zune over a year ago so I’ve been watching Microsoft and were they were going with the Zune. Where they went was reducing my Zune by $100. They finally released a product that competes with the last generation iPods but I don’t expect many buyers to get excited about this device and ads like this doesn’t help either. At least they provided the loyal first gen Zune users with a firmware upgrade so they could experience the new Zune 2 user interface.

Before this year I’ve never owned an iPod (or any Apple product for that matter) so I was really hoping Microsoft would make the Zune a success. I recently purchased an iPod Nano and iPod Touch because the Zune just didn’t do what I wanted. Time will tell if Microsoft can convince buyers that the Zune 2 is as sexy and cool as the iPod.

I’ve downloaded the new Zune Desktop software and upgraded the firmware in my older Zune and I plan to write up my experiences. I’ve also talked about my initial reaction on my last podcast and will talk more about it soon. I’ll let you know about the new Zune experience and how it compares to the iPod.

More to come. Stay tuned.

I’ve blogged before about Zooomr and the problems it had with the re-launch of Zooomr Mark III but I’m happy to report it’s now up and running. Granted there still are a number of features not yet working (like SmartSets) but the site is stable and users are uploading photos and exploring Zooomr’s new features. Check out the Discovery 100 feature of Zooomr where it shows the best pictures of the past hour, day, week, and year.

To help spread the word Randy Carranza (randyman) has printed up some Zooomr sticker (see above photo) that you can order and paste wherever you like. He has started a Zooomr group (StickerWalking) where users can post photos of their pastings. You can find more information about ordering the Zooomr stickers here.

You can also checkout my photos on Zooomr here.

This was recorded on the Zooomr Ustream.tv feed. At this launch attempt the Zooomr site was only up for 20 minutes before it crashed and burned. The site finally re-launched (the second time) on Saturday, May 2, 2007. Zooomr is running a little slow but Kris Tate and Thomas Hawk are slowly getting out the bugs.

You can watch this 17:08 minute video here or watch it full screen here (click on the Full Screen link). If you want to see the Zooomr chat room text you will need to view the full-screen version of the video.

The Zooomr Ustream feed stopped right before the Zooomr launch so the video shows the minutes leading up to the launch and after the launch. Sorry for the audio quality in this video.

As I’ve been posting before the Zooomr re-launch came and went (crash and burned) and Kristopher Take is in the process of getting it going again. They had a few hardware server problems and Zoho came to the rescue to get Zooomr up and going again. Sun Microsystems also came in with a server box on loan for 60 days. Zoli’s Blog has a great recap of all that has happened over the past 12 days.

The fact that it’s two days since Zoho came to the rescue and Zooomr is not up seems to have upset some people. On top of that the Zooomr Blog seems to have problems because of the Zoomr crash and is not providing timely updates of the status. Dedicated users have been glued to the Zooomr Ustream.tv feed and getting updates directly from Kris and Thomas Hawk. Robert Scoble has also been active in the Zooomr IRC chat room and providing support and status updates whenever he can.

There are a few hardware problems that need to be sorted out and Kris doesn’t want to bring Zooomr up just to have it crash again. He has been working long, long hours and doing his best to make sure when Zooomr comes online, it stays online. We (Zooomr users) are behind Kris and Thomas and support them in getting Zooomr back up when they feels it’s ready to come online.

Kris was able to get the static photos back online so blogs that link to these photos will be able to access their pictures again.

We would like to thank the Internet community and especially Zoho and Sun Microsystems for coming forward and lending a big helping hand.

Zooomr will live again!

The Zooomr users have started a Zooomr Mark III Launch wiki and you can see it here.

Kris must be feeling better as you can tell in this short video clip.

Tonight (May 29) at 11:15 PM, Zooomr Mark III launched and everyone in the Zooomr Ustream.TV chat room rushed onto the site and started posting what they found. Twenty minutes late it went down as fast as it went up. Zooomr had lost a data base server and had to be taken off line.

For those who donât know Zooomr is a photo sharing site similar to Flickr and has been down for the past week being overhauled with over 250 new features. The lead (and only) programmer, Kristopher Tate, has been working night and day on this venture and tonight was a major defeat in Zooomrâs launch.

While the site was up everyone was excited by what they saw. Reading the posts in the chat room reminded me of kids running to be the first on the rides at Disneyland after they opened the gates. For many of us itâs been a weekâs wait watching Kristopher and Thomas Hawk broadcast the ups and downs of this launch live over Ustream.tv. Hanging out in the chat room and getting to know Kristopher and Thomas felt like family and everyone was enjoying being part of it all.

Even before the launch actually happened, Robert Scoble wrote a post about Zooomr asking for others to help this startup survive.

After the launch I was going to title this post âDid Ustream Save Zooomr,â? but even though that may be true, I donât think Ustream can fix this. What can you do to help?
