A report from Bloomberg says that Microsoft is putting an end to their hardware music player, the
Zune, after years of struggling to get a significant market share over Apple’s iPod.
MS announced the Zune back in 2006 and will no longer be selling them this year {

Had a Red Zune and a Zune HD before (and loved them both) especially
the wireless synching on the Zune HD. It was also ahead in including an
FM radio tuner compared to the more popular iPod Touch or any iPod for
that matter.
The Zune player (software and service) is still alive though and is incorporated in Windows Phone 7.
